πλησίον δὲ πεποίηται Κηφισοδώρου μνῆμα δήμου προστάντος καὶ Φιλίππῳ τῷ Δημητρίου Μακεδόνων βασιλεύοντι ἐς τὰ μάλιστα ἐναντιωθέντος· συμμάχους δὲ ἐπήγετο Κηφισόδωρος Ἀθηναίοις γενέσθαι βασιλεῖς μὲν Ἄτταλον τὸν Μυσὸν καὶ Πτολεμαῖον τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἔθνη δὲ αὐτόνομα Αἰτωλοὺς καὶ νησιωτῶν Ῥοδίους καὶ Κρῆτας.

Nearby is made the tomb of Kephisodoros, constructed by decree of the people, who in particular opposed Philip, son of Demetrios, king of the Macedonians. Kephisodoros brought as allies to assist the Athenians the kings Attalos the Mysian and Ptolemy the Egyptian, and the autonomous peoples—the Aetolians and from among the islanders, the Rhodians and the Cretans.
