HGV 21868 Translation (English) [xml]

(From: J. Rowlandson, Women and Society in Greek and Roman Egypt, 1998, no. 142.)
1  …[Laws long ago have been made], most eminent prefect, which empower women who are adorned with the right of three children 5  to be mistresses of themselves and act without a guardian in whatever business they transact, especially those who know how to write. 10  Accordingly, as I too enjoy the happy honour of being blessed with children and as I am a literate woman able to write with a high degree of ease, 15  it is with abundant security that I appeal to your highness by this my application with the object of being enabled to accomplish without hindrance whatever business I 20  henceforth transact, and I beg you to keep it without prejudice to my rights in your eminence’s office, in order that I may 25  obtain your support and acknowledge my unfailing gratitude. Farewell. I, Aurelia Thaisous also called Lolliane, have sent this for presentation. Year 10, Epeiph 21.
30  (Annotation) Your application shall be kept in the [office].
