Description

This document provides the proof that Diogenes had indeed been enrolled into the epheboi, namely the tribe Sosikosmios and the deme Athaieus. The docket on the verso strongly suggests that the certificate on the recto was requested by their son Julius to prove his own eligibility to this privileged class within the Alexandrian and Egyptian society.
