Opening of a document, possibly a petition or declaration, addressed to an official named Diogenes by Helene of Aphrodisiou in the Small Oasis, acting with her husband Teisamenos as guardian, and by the freedman Kallistos. It concerns the 24th year of Antoninus Pius (AD 160-161) and comes from Oxyrhynchus.

In English machine translation

To Diogenes […] from Helene, styled as having as mother Herakleia, daughter of Phatres (?), from Aphrodisiou of the Small Oasis, with her guardian, her husband Teisamenos son of Demetrios, freedman of Apollonios, from Oxyrhynchus city, and from Kallistos, freedman of Dioskoros also called Sarapion, son of Sarapion also called Perseis (?), of Dioskoros, of the Sosikosmian tribe and Eusebian deme, […] for the present twenty-fourth year of Antoninus Caesar the lord […]

Only the address survives, so the nature of the document (petition or declaration for the current year) is uncertain. Sosikosmios and Eusebeios are the tribe and deme designations of Alexandrian citizens.

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