The Reply from Scepsis (response to Doc 12.1, p.
438)

• since Antigonus has sent news of the agreement
  concluded by him with Cassander, Ptolemy and
  Lysimachus, copies of the oath, and the news of
  what has been done concerning the peace and the
  autonomy of the Greeks, be it resolved by the
  people since Antigonus has been responsible for
  great benefits to the city and the other Greeks,
  to praise Antigonus let the city also rejoice
  with the other Greeks that they shall live in
  peace henceforward, enjoying freedom and
  autonomy and so that Antigonus may receive
  honours worthy of his achievements, and the
  people should be seen to be returning thanks for
  the benefits it has received, let it mark off a
  sacred temenos for him, build an altar and set up
  a cult statue as beautiful as possible, and let
  the sacrifice, the competition, the wearing of
  the wreath, and the rest of the festival be
  celebrated every year in his honour as they were
  before. Let it crown him with a golden crown
  weighing 100 gold staters and crown Demetrius and
  Philippus with crowns each weighing 50 drachmas
  and let it proclaim the crowns at the contest
  during the festival. Let friendly gifts be sent
  to Antigonus and let the treasurer provide the
  money for the task. Let all the citizens swear
  the oath which was sent by Antigonus..
