Greek Text: ἵν᾽ ὑμῖν καὶ τὰ χρήματ᾽ ᾖ συντεταγμένα, διελεῖν τοῦτο καὶ ποιῆσαι καθ᾽ ἑξήκοντα τάλανθ᾽ ἑκατὸν μέρη, εἶτα πένθ᾽ ἑξηκονταταλαντίας εἰς ἑκάστην τῶν μεγάλων τῶν εἴκοσι συμμοριῶν ἐπικληρῶσαι, τὴν δὲ συμμορίαν ἑκάστῳ τῶν μερῶν μίαν ἑξηκονταταλαντίαν ἀποδοῦναι,

English Text: this sum should be divided into a hundred parts of sixty talents each, and that then five of these parts should be allotted to each of the twenty full boards, and that the board itself should assign one part, consisting of sixty talents, to each of its own five groups.
