Application by Aurelius Longinus to be enrolled for the grain dole TM 45212Oxyrhynchos

Application from Aurelius Longinus of Oxyrhynchus to the hypomnematographos and the council's examiners, asking to be added to the list of recipients of the city grain dole. He had been registered in the Cretan Quarter under Severus Alexander but was overlooked by the quarter's phylarch while away from home.

In English machine translation

The phylarch was the official in charge of a city quarter who drew up lists of those entitled to the dole. The reference to year 4 of Alexander suggests registration around AD 224/5, with the application somewhat later in the 3rd century.
