An application from Terentius of Oxyrhynchus for the scrutiny (epikrisis) of his son Amois, who has turned 13, to establish his membership in the gymnasium class. He begins proving the boy's status by citing his own father's scrutiny in the 5th year of Vespasian. The text dates to AD 148-149 (year 12 of Antoninus Pius).
Epikrisis was the official scrutiny of a boy's descent to confirm membership in a privileged class, here those 'from the gymnasium'. The number 113 at the top is probably a filing number within a roll of such applications.
