In the consulship of our lords Imperator Maximianus Augustus for the 5th time and Maximianus the most noble Caesar for the 2nd time.
To Aurelius Horion son of Theon, systates of the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, for the current 13th and 12th and 5th year,
from Aurelia Helene daughter of Horion, her mother being Thermouthion, from the same city, acting without a guardian by the right of children. I wish my son Aurelius Ammon, born to me by my former and deceased husband Aurelius Silvanus son of Besammon, his mother being Isis, from the same city, a twelve-drachma person of gymnasial status, aged 13 in the current 13th and 12th and 5th year, to be registered for the first time at the station of the Poimenike quarter. Therefore I submit the memorandum, asking that he be placed, through the list of minors filed by you, in the rank of those of his age, as is proper, and I swear the oath customary to the Romans that I have not lied. Year 13 and year 12 of our lords the Imperators Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and year 5 of our lords Constantius and Maximian the most noble Caesars, Mesore 12.
I, Aurelia Helene, have submitted this and sworn the oath as stated above. I, Aurelius […], wrote on her behalf because she does not know letters.
