To Aurelius Didymus, the general of the province of Arsinoites, from Marcus Lucretius Diogenes Antinoeus. I have delivered to Claudius Herennianus, the most honorable judge, who is presiding over the matters concerning the governance, a copy of the document of which I have received a copy, and I request that the following be carried out, appointing you as guardian to the heirs, so that they may not be wronged in any way, according to the laws. It is as follows: To Tiberius Claudius Herennianus, the most honorable judge presiding over the governance by divine command, from Marcus Lucretius Diogenes Antinoeus. I am about to offer a petition suitable to your goodness, hoping to receive the just things from you. The matter is briefly defined. In the month that has passed, my sister Octavia Lucretia has died intestate, leaving three heirs, Aurelius Julius and Lucretius and Rufus, her relatives. One of them, Julius, is a subordinate to his own father, Marcus Aurelius Heron. Therefore, he has received the portion that falls to him from the deceased. The others, Lucretius has become fatherless, and Rufus' father has died, and there is no one left to them of their kin except me, Lucretius Diogenes, for whom I am making this request, and I beseech you, if it pleases your fortune, to command that a document be written for the province of Heracleides of the Arsinoite law, where their matters are, appointing me as guardian of the orphans, so that I may be able to manage the affairs left to them, in order to preserve these things for them until they reach maturity. It has been successful. Marcus Lucretius Diogenes, son of Marcus Aurelius Sarapion, has delivered this. The general, having the personal risk before his eyes, takes care to appoint a guardian for the heirs. Of the attachments.
