I think this can be slightly improved by:

    "... *the* AS number of an AS authorized to originate ..."

Beyond that, I think that the sentence is a reasonably concise way of
describing the content of a ROA.

I would expect readers to have at least a passing familiarity with the
semantics of a ROA. If not, the ref to RFC6482 is there.

Cheers,

Ben
