Fragment of an ephebate certificate from the reign of Hadrian, recording the year of a young man's enrolment as an ephebe. It names Didymos son of Apollonios, a citizen registered in a tribe and deme of Alexandria, and his twenty-year-old wife, acting with a legal guardian granted by the prytaneis.

In English machine translation

Date of ephebate: [year …] and twentieth of Imperator [Caesar] Hadrian Augustus […] Didymos son of Apollonios, [grandson of …], of the Sosikosmian tribe and the Althaean deme, [aged …] […] and his wife T[…], [a citizen woman], aged twenty, with [the guardian granted] to her by [memorandum of the prytaneis, whose] date in the prytaneion […] […]

The tribe Sosikosmios and deme Althaeus are civic divisions of Alexandria; the parents are presumably declaring their son's ephebate. The year number is partly lost, so the date in Hadrian's 20th-something regnal year is uncertain.

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