Modern Description: Library in the southeast corner of the Agora, offered at his own expense, with its books and decor, by Titus Flavius Pantainos, the "priest of the wisdom-loving Muses," along with his son and daughter, to Athena Polias, the Emperor Trajan and the city of Athens, along with the outer stoas and peristyle. Another inscription preserves its operating regulations: "No book shall be taken out, since we have sworn it. It will be open from the first hour until the sixth."
