Application to the council of Oxyrhynchus concerning privileges of a victor TM 17009Oxyrhynchos288 - 289

A fragmentary application addressed to the town council of Oxyrhynchus, apparently by a victorious athlete or performer seeking the privileges (perhaps a crown-related grant) due to such victors. It is dated in the joint reign of Diocletian and Maximian, AD 288-289, and was signed by someone else for the illiterate applicant.

In English machine translation

The text belongs to a dossier on the privileges of athletes and Dionysiac artists; the hypomnematographos was a senior municipal official through whom the application was submitted. The reference to crowns suggests a victor in sacred games, but the details are lost.
