Translation into English

If what has been read in the decrees is contrary, what is it according to law or according to arrangement?
For if the example is contrary, it is not valid, for all laws and arrangements are applicable.
Hermodoros, son of Eutychides, a council member, said: Let the arrangement of Proclus be read.
When it was read in the year of the god Aelius Antoninus, Athyr and Neme-
sion, son of Ammonius, a council member, said: Concerning this, let the prytanic speak to us.
Lucius Apolinaris, the prytanic, said: The marriage was granted to us
towards the Egyptians by special favor of the god Hadrian, which they do not have, the Naukratians, of which we use the laws, and I read again concerning the marriage.
And after the reading, Aristaios, a council member, said: This is not just once among us,
but also many times, as it was fitting for us in the Greek manner.
I wished to have a rotation among us.

English Translation

If there is anything contrary to law or ordinance in the decrees that have been read.
For if the precedent is contrary, it is not valid, since laws and ordinances take precedence over anything else.
Hermodoros, son of Eutychides, councillor, said: "Let the ordinance of Proclus be read."
After it was read, in the 9th year of the divine Aelius Antoninus, on the 21st of Hathyr, Nemesion, son of Ammonius, councillor, said: "Regarding this matter, as it has been decided, let the prytanis address us."
Lucius Apolinarius, the prytanis, said: "The right of intermarriage was granted to us with Egyptians as a special privilege by the divine Hadrian, a privilege which the Naucratites, whose laws we follow, do not possess. And I read again the provisions concerning intermarriage."
After he had read it, following the reading, Aristaeus, councillor, said: "This matter has not been raised among us only once, but indeed several times already, as was fitting for our Greek custom."
