Transcription: The following day was dedicated to celebrating the king's reunion with his son. Many Hecatons' oxen were slaughtered, and a great smoke pleasing to the gods went up from the sacrifice. Theseus dedicated a sacrifice to Hermes, protector of travelers, for keeping him unharmed if not unmolested while traveling the road from treason. After the sacrifice, games were held. Chariot racing, javelin throwing, archery, discus throwing, contest between singers, between musicians, between rhapsodes. Theseus, such as his natural strength and trained skill, took many prizes.
