An extract copied from an official roll of epikrisis, the status examinations of veterans, Romans, freedmen, slaves and others held in Egypt under the prefect Subatianus Aquila through Julius Marcus, prefect of the Alexandrian fleet, in the reign of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. The entry concerns the Oxyrhynchite nome and names Marcus Aurelius Apollonios, a hierophant.

In English machine translation

From the roll of examinations (epikrisis), of which the heading is: The undermentioned veterans and Romans and freedmen and slaves and others were examined in Egypt by Subatianus Aquila, prefect of Egypt, through Julius Marcus, prefect of the Augustan Alexandrian fleet, in the month of Mecheir and the month of Phamenoth of year 1[…] of the lords Emperors Severus and Antoninus Pii Augusti. The documents which they submitted to the aforementioned Julius Marcus are filed under each name in 4 rolls. After other entries: sheets 2. Of the Oxyrhynchite nome. […] […] sent (?) […] I pray. […] From Marcus Aurelius Apollonios, hierophant.

Epikrisis was the official examination verifying a person's legal and fiscal status; no single English equivalent exists. The regnal year is partly lost, but Subatianus Aquila was prefect c. AD 206-211, so year 14-17 is likely.

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