Hello, John, "J Davis fecit" is correct and in a long and venerable tradition. For "commission" I'd suggest either "X mandatum dedit" or, better, "X mandatum detulit." Both are classical, but to me the latter has a nicer "feel" to it. (X, of course, is the client's name in the nominative case.) Best wishes, John
