A death notification addressed to Hermeinos, royal scribe of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, by the freedman Heron son of Petesouchos. He reports that his half-brother Abaskantos, also a freedman and registered in the same quarter, died in Epeiph of Hadrian's 22nd year (AD 138) and asks that he be entered among the deceased.

In English machine translation

To Hermeinos, royal scribe of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Heron son of Petesouchos son of Onesimos, his mother being Helene, freedman of Heron son of Aphrodeisios, registered in the quarter of the First Goose-pens. The person registered by me in the house-by-house census for the 16th year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, being also my brother by the same mother, Abaskantos, freedman of the aforementioned Heron, assessed for poll tax in the same quarter, died in the present month Epeiph of the 22nd year of Hadrian Caesar the lord. Therefore I submit this so that he may be entered in the list of the deceased. […] […] […] year 22 of Hadrian Caesar the lord. (2nd hand) Hermeinos […] […] deceased. 113

Such notices served to remove the deceased from the poll-tax rolls. The final number 113 is probably a filing or sheet number.
