In the series of copies from Angora inscriptions by Mr. d'Orbeliani there are none for which we owe him a greater debt than those numbered ‘Orb. 41’ (pp. 33–36 of this volume).

They represent, first (Fig. 19), the dedication on the pedestal made for a statue of Ulpius Aelius Pompeianus, benefactor of ‘The Sacred Hadrianic Stage Guild’; secondly (Fig. 20), the full text, engraved on the same stone, of the resolution by which the Guild authorised the erection of that statue and the granting to Pompeianus of other honours. This latter document, thanks to the thirty-four lines added by the new copy, is now the most complete example that we possess of such a psephisma; except for the last three lines and for a few words and unknown names, it can, as the copyist claims, ‘be fully read.’ The text of the dedication (I.G. Rom. iii. 211) and of most of the preamble to the resolution (I.G. Rom. iii. 209) have been known since 1885, but the closeness of their connexion and the sketch of the monument (Fig. 19) are new and welcome data. In view of its importance, recently emphasised by Ramsay, the resolution seems worth repeating in revised form, with the epigraphic copy. Variations between that and the printed text are marked by the usual round brackets, but only a few of the words restored seem to require explanation.
