Fragment of a petition, apparently quoted as a copy, from a certain Julius Am[…], probably an honourably discharged veteran, addressed to Tiberius Claudius Herennianus. Herennianus was the iuridicus of Egypt acting as deputy prefect by imperial command. Oxyrhynchus, about AD 225.

In English machine translation

[…] […] consular of Syria […] […] petition […] […] to the iuridicus, acting also […] […] […] from Julius Am[…] to the most excellent iuridicus […] is as follows: To Tiberius Claudius Herennianus, the most excellent iuridicus, acting also in the place of the prefecture by divine [command, from] […] of those honourably discharged […] to me, prefect […] […] to another according to a written contract (?) […]

The iuridicus (dikaiodotes) was a senior Roman judicial official in Egypt; here he is also acting in place of the prefect. The reference to a consular governor of Syria is too broken to explain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Petition to Ti. Claudius Herennianus). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
