Application of Aurelius Theon to receive the grain dole TM 16619Oxyrhynchos

End of an application by Aurelius Theon of Oxyrhynchus asking that his name be entered so that he may receive the grain dole (sitêresion) on equal terms with others of his class. Being illiterate, he had Aurelius Agathos Daimon sign for him; it is dated Hathyr 5 in a year identified only as 'the present year' of the consuls.

In English machine translation

The sitêresion was the public grain distribution at Oxyrhynchus in the later 3rd century AD. The dating 'in the consulship of the present year' reflects uncertainty about the new consuls' names when the document was written.
