[7] But Augustus, for some reason [ aitiā], perhaps because he thought that Patrai was a convenient port of call, brought back again to Patrai the men [ andres] from the other municipalities [ polismata], and he consolidated-as-a-city [ sunoikizein] not only these populations but also [ pros-] the Achaeans from Rhypai, which place he demolished all the way down to its foundations. He granted that the people-of-Patrai [Patreîs] should be free [ eleutheroi]. He granted this only to them, of all the Achaeans. And he granted to them also all the other privileges [ gera] that the Romans have-the-custom-of bestowing on their colonists [ apoikoi].

[7] But Augustus, for some reason, perhaps because he thought that Patrae was a convenient port of call, brought back again to Patrae the men from the other towns, and united with them the Achaeans also from Rhypes, which town he razed to the ground. He granted freedom to the Patraeans, and to no other Achaeans; and he granted also all the other privileges that the Romans are accustomed to bestow on their colonists.
