To Aurelius Seuerius, the most distinguished successor,
[the] command of the generalship
from Aurelius Ptolemaeus Sempronius of Lucius,
mother of Thaesios from the city of Oxyrhynchus.
Since it was customary from which we have been
(*)
fortunate from the gods
(*)
of Seuerius and the great Antoninus,
[the] gift of the contest of the youths, those according to the time
of the city, the amphodogrammateus approaching
(*)
of each year of the contest to provide and
to set forth the registration of those who are to be youths
(*)
to each one from which it is appropriate
(*)
to the time of youth to take hold, since therefore the current amphodogrammateus of the city, Aurelius Sarapion,
in the previously set forth document
(*)
from him of those who are to be good youths has provided
[the] son of ours, Aurelius Polydeuces, and himself to be a future youth and being from the
class of the gymnasium among us
(*)
having entered into the thirteenth year
in the
(year) and having been judged
(*)
according to the sequence
(*)
of the years and of the race into those from
(*)
the gymnasium in the same
(year)
[perhaps] not knowing, according to the necessity I appeal to you, I ask to be enrolled
(*)
my
(*)
son
in the registration of the youths according to similarity
25
of those with him and
(*)
O helper,
may it be successful.
