Fragment of a document, apparently written by a young person acting with a guardian, Aurelius Dionysios, concerning nomination by a town council to the office of agoranomos (market overseer). It mentions Calpurnius Isidoros and the 'crown' of the agoranomia, and probably dates to about AD 219-220.
The 'crown' (stephanos) refers to the ceremonial crowning that accompanied entry into a municipal magistracy; the agoranomos supervised markets. Another record dates the text more broadly to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Document Concerning Appointment to a Magistracy). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
