Legislation (cf. 148, section 28) enabled women
with three or more children (the ius trium
liberorum) to serve as their own kyrios. [45]
Petition addressed to the most eminent prefect
from Aurelia Thaisus also called Lolliane. [Laws
exist] that grant authority to women who are
honoured with the right of three children and that
enable them to transact business without a kyrios
in all household business they transact, and in
particular women who are literate. Therefore,
since I have been blessed with the honour of
children, being literate and able to write with
proficiency, in full confidence I petition your
eminence with this application for the right to
transact business without hindrance in all
household affairs. [46] I beg you to retain this
application, without prejudice to my rights, in
your eminence's office, and offer my eternal
gratitude to you for your assistance. Farewell.
Aurelia Thaisus also known as Lolliane have sent
this petition for presentation. In the year 10
[emperor's name omitted], Epeiph 21. (added) Your
application shall be kept in the office.
