I, Isidoros, have signed. To Ammonios, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, and to Harpokration also called Hierax, royal scribe of the same division, and to Mysthes and Heron, former scribes of the metropolis, from Ptolemaios son of Sarapion, registered through another memorandum […] […] of the house, in which I register the undersigned lodger for the house-by-house census of the past 28th year in the quarter of Moeris; and he is Ptolemaios […] son of Chairemon, his mother being Herois, subject to poll tax, a labourer, aged 19, registered in the house-by-house census of the 14th year in the quarter of Moeris. Therefore I submit this. Year 29 of Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, Mesore 27. Filed with the strategos, year 29, Mesore 27. Filed with the royal scribe the same day. Filed with the city scribes the same day.

The opening line is a signature by an official, Isidoros, noting receipt. The house-by-house census (kat' oikian apographe) was held every 14 years, here for year 28 (188/9), with the lodger previously registered in year 14.
