"Das Krankenhaus verleiht durch den Dekan xy dem Arzt yz den akademischen Grad eines Doktors der Medizin."

Aus einer Promotionsurkunde. Ich habe ein Problem mit dem "durch". Einfach "by"? By use of? Einfach die Satzstellung ändern geht leider nicht.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Darauf bin ich auch schon gekommen, aber es handelt sich, wie gesagt, um eine Promotionsurkunde. Die Übersetzung wird beglaubigt und muss deshalb so aufgebaut sein wie das Original. Da kann ich den Satz nicht einfach umbauen :-(

Asker: Das "represented by" gefällt mir und passt auch wunderbar in die Formatierung! Das nehme ich, vielen Dank!
