[recto] To Akousilaos and associates, administering the affairs of the village scribeship of Theadelphia, and to Phasis and Heras and Heron and Orsenouphis and Sokonopis and Sisois, laographoi, from Heron also called Theogiton, son of Herod[…], grandson of Philadelphos, registered in the quarter of the Tameia. There belongs to the children of Gaius Petronius Abaskantos, who are under my guardianship, a house in the village of Theadelphia, in which Chonsis son of Horos lives, which I also register for the house-by-house census of the past 7th year of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus. Therefore I submit (this). (2nd hand) We, Akousilaos and the other elders, also administering the affairs of the village scribeship of the village of Theadelphia, […] It has been filed in year 8 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Choiak 17. (3rd hand) Phasis, laographos, [we have received (?)] […] […] S[isois] […] […] [verso] […] house-by-house […] census declaration […] Abaskantos

Laographoi were local officials who compiled the lists of people liable to poll tax. The text is formed by joining fragments now in Heidelberg and Lund.
