A denunciation addressed to Sarapion, royal scribe of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, by Akousilaos, a shoemaker of Karanis. He reports that a certain Sarapas son of Herakleides and Diodora is not entered in the official registers, and asks that the appropriate measures be taken. It dates to the reign of Antoninus Pius, AD 139-145.

In English machine translation

Being 'unregistered' (anapographos) meant escaping the census and poll-tax lists, so such reports helped officials track tax evaders. The regnal year number is lost; the 'Augustan day' was a day of the month honouring the emperor.
