Sacrifice from the πελανός as the Eumolpidai prescribe; offer a 3-victim bull-led group with gilded horns to each of the Two Goddesses; sacrificial victims to Triptolemos, the god, the goddess, and Euboulos; gilded-horned ox to Athena. From the remainder of the barley and wheat, the hieropoioi together with the council are to sell and to dedicate offerings to the Two Goddesses, with such inscription as the Athenian demos decides, naming the funding source and the Greek polis offering the first-fruits. Many blessings on those who do this — provided they do no wrong to the Athenians, the city, or the goddess. (Translation paraphrased from ML 1969 p. 220-221.)
Pampon proposed: in all other respects as in the draft regulations (συγγραφαί) of the first-fruits of the harvest to the Two Goddesses. The secretary of the council is to inscribe the draft regulations and this decree on two stone stelai, and place one at Eleusis in the sanctuary and the other [in the Bouleuterion]... (Translation paraphrased from ML 1969 p. 221.)
[On the prescript:] The prescript is normal, save that the motion had been formulated by a body of συγγραφεῖς (l. 3) and could be described as αἱ ξυγγραφαί (l. 47).

The Eleusinian First-Fruits Decree regulates ἀπαρχαί (first-fruits offerings) of barley (κριθαί) and wheat (πυροί) to the Two Goddesses (Demeter and Persephone) at Eleusis. The motion was formulated by a body of συγγραφεῖς (l. 3) — "drafters" — and could be described as αἱ ξυγγραφαί (l. 47), the term Pampon's rider uses for the underlying draft.
Per ML 1969 (p. 221, verbatim): "the ἱεροφάντης and the δᾳδοῦχος (ll. 24–6), appeal is made to ancestral custom and the Delphic oracle. Isocrates (iv. 31) speaks of ἀπαρχαὶ τοῦ σίτου as annually offered by most cities."
Vocabulary spine: ἀπαρχαί → πελανός → sales of surplus → conversion to ἀναθέματα → naming the funding source on each dedication. This is the dossier's most explicit case of the economic-cult vocabulary.
