Translation: An ancient [sc. Athenian] festival popular long ago, but subsequently observed by the craftsmen only, because Hephaestus worked bronze in Attica. It is on the last day of [the] month Pyanepsion;[1] also the day when priestesses, together with the arrephoroi, set the warp on the loom [for] the peplos [of Athena].
