Decree of Stratonicea (English Translation)

. . . Whereas Tabae joined in the war against the generals and the forces of King Mithradates and opposed them most courageously on behalf of Asia and of Greece, it is the pleasure of the Senate and the Roman people that all the highest privileges shall be accorded them now and for the future; that now and for the future they shall keep in memory their alliance with the Senate and the Roman people; that whatever privileges thw dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla with the advice of his advisory council, granted to them because of their valor and honor shall be confirmed, namely, that they shall enjoy these privileges on the same footing as their own laws and institutions and that, if they are so minded, they shall fortify the stronghold Thyessus, which lies within their own boundaries; that the Senate and the Roman people shall accord these privileges to them in a manner that is honorable, fitting, and worthy of them; that extraordinary audience shall be granted by the magistrates to envoys from Tabae who hereafter come to Rome . . .
