Application to Receive the Dole via HGV-meta
Application to be added to the grain dole list. Fragment of an application from a man of Oxyrhynchus whose name was left off, apparently through ignorance, in the lists of recipients of the grain dole submitted by the phylarch of the Metroon quarter. Citing a council decision allowing claims within three months, he asks the authorities to order the phylarch to add his name so that he can receive the grain distribution. It dates to the 3rd century AD. machine translation

[…] the lists of the distribution submitted by the phylarch of the Metroon quarter […] through ignorance. Since, therefore, it was resolved in the most excellent council that those who have any claim should present it within three months, so that once the matter has been examined they might obtain correction, I therefore submit this application, so that you may order the phylarch of the quarter mentioned, in which I also performed a liturgy, to submit our name too among those proclaimed, so that I too may [share] in the distribution of the grain dole […]
