The decree records the bestowal of citizenship of the Thessalian city of Phalanna to a large group of individuals, among whom Perrhaibians, Magnesians, Ainians, and Achaians. The citizenship undergoes some conditions: the people enjoying the bestowal must be inscribed on the citizens’ registers and pass the dokimasia . Beside this groups of individuals, the text also mentions another group of people, the offspring of Phalannaian women with non-Phalannaian men. A list of the names of the newly made citizens follows: there are some fifty names including some siblings.
