Copy of an application by Aurelius Theon of the Lower Kynopolite nome to the deputy nomarch of Antinoopolis, asking that the 16-year-old slave girl Euploia, whom he bought from Aurelia Ailo[…] of Koptos, be officially examined (anakrisis) as regulations required. The first column preserves the start of a bank document dated under Claudius II; the sale's bank payment presumably appeared there.

Farewell. Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Claudius Germanicus Maximus Pius Felix Augustus […] I, Aurelius Theon, have submitted this. I, Aurelia Ailo[…], consent.
