Application to the Nomarch of Antinoopolis
P. Lond. Inv. 1905 (Aegyptus, 13, 518 ff)
Dated 9th February, A.D. 151
Petronius Mamertinus, former prefect, made known to us the benefits granted
to us by Divus Hadrianus, the founder of our city, by which he directed
that the children of Antinoites who are registered by us, their parents,
within thirty days of their birth should be maintained from the proceeds
of funds granted by him for this purpose and from other revenues. I therefore
register the son born to me, Heraclides alias Valerius, twenty days old,
by my wife Ninnarous daughter of Orsenuphis, an Antinoite, the fee for
whose birth certificate I paid through the most excellent Senate, furnishing
three guarantors of the marriage and the parentage, Lysanias son of Didymus,
of the Matidian tribe and Plotinian deme, Didymus son of Didymus, of the
Matidian tribe and Callitecnian deme, and Ptolemaeus son of Heraclides,
of the Osirantinoan tribe and Clitorian deme; and I swear by the Fortune
of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius and
the most great god Osirantinous that the foregoing particulars are true,
or may I be subject to the consequences of the oath.
