To Calpurnius Horion, the most excellent hypomnematographos, from Aurelius Sarapion son of […] son of Ptolemaios, his mother being Thaesis, from the glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites. Having reached the qualifying age and been approved by scrutiny in the Hermaios quarter in year 13 of the reign of Gallienus, and having been entered in the list submitted by the phylarch of the aforesaid quarter, I happened to be away from home at the public calling of those like me that took place then. Now that I have returned, I report myself and ask that I too share in the gift of the grain dole on an equal basis with those like me, in accordance with what was decided by the most excellent council. Farewell. Year […] of Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Pius Felix Augustus […] […]
