Translation
Those who as some kind of honour, conferred on them by decree of the [sc. Athenian] people, change to the rights of naturalized citizens1 used to be called isoteleis. This is what the city did for the metics, when it was decided that they had performed a public service.

Ἰσοτελεῖς· οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ μετοικεῖν κατά τινα τιμὴν παρὰ τοῦ δήμου γενομένην κατὰ ψήφισμα μεταβαίνοντες εἰς τὸ τῶν δημοποιήτων δίκαιον ἰσοτελεῖς ὠνομάζοντο. ἐγίνετο δὲ τοῦτο τοῖς μετοίκοις ὑπὸ τῆς πόλεως, ὅταν ἔδοξαν εὖ πεποιηκέναι τὸ κοινόν.
