In English machine translation

To Aurelius …ronius […] from Orsenouphis son of Orsenouphis […] from the village of Tane[…]. I register for the house-by-house census of the past 23rd year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, in accordance with the orders of Furius Victorinus, the former prefect, […] part of a house in the same village, in which I live […] and Psensou…[…] and I own in the same village […] and I own in the same village […] and I own another part […] And I swear by the fortune of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius that I have submitted the above declaration soundly and truthfully and have falsified nothing, or may I be liable to the oath. Year 24 of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius. (Signature) I, Orsenouphis son of Orsenouphis, have submitted the declaration as stated above. […] I wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters.

The text names Antoninus Pius and the prefect Furius Victorinus, pointing to AD 160/161, while a museum record dates the papyrus after 215, apparently because of the addressee's name Aurelius. The back of the papyrus carries Homer, Iliad 1.528-540.
