<p>Philostratos, fils de Philostratos, Ascalonite, banquier à Délos, pour la cité des Ascalonites, (5) son épouse et ses enfants, au Poséidon d'Ascalon. Ne sacrifier ni du porc ni de la chèvre.</p>

<head>Commentary</head>
<p> This small regulation (lines 8-9) is inscribed below a dedication by a banker from Ascalon, Philostatros, son of Philostratos (lines 1-6). He dedicated the altar to Poseidon of Ascalon and it may be presumed that the regulation also pertains to this cult.</p>
<p>Interdictions against goat and pig occur with some regularity on Delos, these are especially connected with oriental cults. Goats were not allowed in the cult of Heracles and Haurona (<ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_174">CGRN 174</ref>, line 12); a purity regulation found in the sanctuary of Syrian deities (<ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_217">CGRN 217</ref>, line 3) states that one has to wash oneself after eating porc products. In a sacrificial regulation dedicated to Zeus Ourios, Astarte and Aphrodite Ourania, by another citizen of Ascalon—and probably belonging to the same sanctuary as the present inscription—it is forbidden to sacrifice meat from goat, swine and cow (<ref target="http://cgrn.ulg.ac.be/CGRN_171">CGRN 171</ref>, lines 6-7, with Commentary on this aspect of Near Eastern cults).</p>
