Application by Aurelius Aneiketos, son of Sarapammon, of Oxyrhynchus, to the hypomnematographos Calpurnius Horeion, asking to be enrolled in the city grain dole as one performing a liturgy, since the phylarch of his quarter left his name off the list. It is dated to the first year of Aurelian and Vaballathus (AD 270-271), and is followed by a fragmentary official note.

In English machine translation

23 To Calpurnius Horeion, the most excellent hypomnematographos, from Aurelius Aneiketos son of Sarapammon, his mother being Isidora, from the glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites. Since it was resolved in the most excellent council that those who have performed liturgies should share in the distribution of the grain dole, and I myself am now performing a liturgy in the Hermaion quarter […] of the metropolis, but the phylarch of our quarter, from the individual applications submitted by him of persons like me, omitted our name, I necessarily submit this application, asking that I be registered so that I may be able to share in the distribution of the grain dole in accordance with the resolutions of the most excellent council, equally with those like me. Farewell. Year 1 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Pius Felix Augustus and of Julius Aurelius Septimius Vaballathus Athenodorus, the most illustrious king, consul, imperator, general of the Romans, […] 26. […] performs a liturgy […] […] in his own rank (?) […] took (?) him. […] the aforesaid liturgy (?) […] […] obey (?) […] […] […]

The sitēresion was the Oxyrhynchite corn dole, open to citizens who had performed liturgies; the hypomnematographos was a senior municipal official. The joint dating by Aurelian and Vaballathus reflects Palmyrene control of Egypt.
