Extract from the official roll of status examinations (epikrisis) held by Gaius Avidius Heliodorus, prefect of Egypt, in AD 140, covering veterans of auxiliary units and the Misenum and Syrian fleets granted Roman citizenship and marriage rights, as well as Romans, freedmen, slaves and others. The individual entry, apparently concerning a veteran and his daughter wishing to stay in the Arsinoite nome, is badly damaged.
