To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this inscription the sacrifice of a bull to Zeus Scor^p is recorded. From a passage of Longus' Pastoral, IV, 25, it is probable that the cult prevailed also at Mytilene. On the obverse of the coin which represents Zeus, Pluto and Poseidon, there is a figure of Zeus, with the legend Zeus BouXcuos. 20 This is perhaps to be connected with the fact that in an important decree of Mytilene 21 provision is made to place a copy irpb rco eipw j3oXXeuT?7pta>. The adjective "sacred" is probably applied... to the Bouleuterion because of the cult ceremonies which took place there relative to the proceedings of the senate. Pausanias reports a xoanon of Zeus BouXcuos in the Bouleuterion at Athens. 22 16 Farnell, op. Cit. Ill, pp. 287-8. For other examples of Zeus &KPCUOS, and Kopvpaios see Farnell, op. Cit. I, p. 154; 'A/cpatos, Pauly-Wissowa, Real- Encycl. I, 1193. 17 A. B. Cook, Cl. Rev. XVII, 1904, pp. 75 f. Believes the coin represents Zeus in a three-fold aspect, and traces the influence to a prehistoric Argive- Lycian Zeus trinity.
