A census declaration submitted by Peteuris, a public farmer of Bakchias in the Fayum, to the strategos, royal scribe, village scribe and census officials, registering himself, his two brothers and a sister-in-law living in a quarter-share of a house. It was filed for the census of Trajan's 7th year and endorsed by the officials on 1 December AD 104.
The laographoi were local officials responsible for the poll-tax registers. 'Without distinguishing marks' (asemos) refers to the absence of scars or other identifying marks recorded in official descriptions.
