Application to Receive the Dole via HGV-meta

Application by a former liturgist to receive the grain dole. An application by an Aurelius, son of Thaesis, of Oxyrhynchus to the hypomnematographos Calpurnius Horion, asking to be admitted to the city's grain dole. He claims eligibility under a council resolution granting the dole to those who had performed liturgies, having served in public donkey-transport, and explains he was away when the registration took place. machine translation
