Fragmentary house-by-house census return from Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe) in the Fayum, filed for the census of Hadrian's 2nd year (AD 118/119). The owner of half a house in the Arabs' quarter registers residents, among them Heron son of Diodoros, his brother, his wife Thaisas and children; it was written by someone else because the declarant was illiterate.

In English machine translation

[…] son of Ar… (?) […] registered in the quarter of […] […] I own in the quarter of […] a half share of a house, in which I register the undersigned residents for the house-by-house census of the past 2nd year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, in the quarter of the Arabs, in which they also registered in the house-by-house census of the [7th year] of the deified Trajan. And they are: Heron son of Diodoros son of Ptolemaios, his mother being Thaisarion, […], subject to poll tax, having passed scrutiny, aged 32, with a scar on the left eyebrow; and his brother by the same father and the same mother […], subject to poll tax, […] without distinguishing marks; and his wife Thaisas, [daughter of] […]bas (?), aged 38; and […] Dionysios, aged 2; […] and Isis […] aged 13; […] without distinguishing marks. […] census return […] […] wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. […] […]

The return refers back to the previous census of Trajan's 7th year (AD 103/104), restored by the editor. Ages and family relationships of the younger residents are partly lost.
