A census declaration submitted in AD 119 by Horos, a public farmer of Bakchias in the Fayum, registering himself, his wife, two sons, his brother Horion, Horion's wife and their son for the census of Hadrian's 2nd year. It is addressed to the strategos, royal scribe, village scribe and laographoi, and bears their filing notes.
Laographoi were village officials responsible for the population lists used for poll-tax assessment; the nomographos was the local scribe who drafted documents. The age of the elder son is illegible.
