Summary

[edit]
Description

Hadrian recommends Lucius Erastus, owner of the boat in which the emperor and Roman governors of Asia had sailed, for honorary membership of the council.

Inscription 487

Inscription Translation The Emperor Caesar, son of the deified Trajan, conqueror of Parthia, descendant of the deified Nerva, Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribune of the People for the third time, Consul for the third time, Father of his country, to the Magistrates of the Ephesians and to the Council, greeting. Lucius Erastus affirms that he is a citizen of yours, and sails much also on the sea, and that, as far as he can from doing this, he makes himself serviceable to his country and continually conveys over the sea the chief men of the [Ionian] race. Moreover he had interviews with me on two former occasions, first, when I made a voyage from Ephesus to Rhodes, and now on my arrival at your city from Eleusis. His wish is to become a member of the Council, and I accordingly commit to you the legal investigation of his claims; and if nothing stands in the way, and he appears to you deserving of that honour, I will give the amount of money which they pay on being admitted to the Council, and to meet the expenses of the election. Farewell.
