Mandate appointing a representative to petition the governor TM 22485Oxyrhynchos14. März 343

In the consulship of Furius Placidus, clarissimus, prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Flavius Romulus, clarissimus, Phamenoth 18. Aurelia Apia, and however she is styled, from the city of the Oxyrhynchites, to Aurelius Aphynchis son of Horos, from the same city, greetings. I instruct and authorize you by this my mandate to make the petition in my name before my lord the perfectissimus governor Flavius Olympius, and to set forth the rights belonging to me, just as I myself could do if present. The mandate, written in a single copy, which I have issued to you, is valid, and in answer to the formal question I have assented. (2nd hand) I, Aurelia Apia, have made the mandate on all the foregoing terms and in answer to the formal question I have assented. I, Aurelius Papnoutis son of Aphynchis, wrote on her behalf since she does not know letters.
