Translation:
[Lykos] is a hero who has the shape of the beast [sc. of a wolf]. A stone monument to him stands near the jurycourts in Athens; to this, those bribing by tens used to rally. This gave rise to the proverb "Lykos' ten-company". So out of the ten-company [came] the [terms] bribing in tens and to be bribed in tens.
