Greek Text: ἔπειτα ταῖς μεγάλαις ἐπικληρῶσαι συμμορίαις μέρος ἓν χρήστων ἑκάστῃ, τὴν δὲ συμμορίαν ἑκάστην διανεῖμαι τῶν αὑτῆς μερῶν ἑκάστῳ τὸ ἴσον, τοὺς δὲ δώδεκα τοὺς ἐν ἑκάστῳ τῷ μέρει ταῦτ᾽ εἰσπράξαντας τὰς τριήρεις, ἃς ἂν ἕκαστοι λάχωσι, παρεσκευασμένας παρέχειν.

English Text: and then that one part of the debtors liable for it should be allotted to each of the full boards, and that each board should assign an equal share to each of its own groups; and that the twelve members of the group should exact the same from the debtors, and so provide, fully equipped, as many galleys as they are severally responsible for.
