A fragment of a house-by-house survey listing householders by name, with their fathers' and mothers' names. One entry notes that a man was scrutinized (epikrisis) in year 1 by Pasion, former royal scribe acting as strategos of the Arsinoite nome, and enrolled among the 14-year-olds. It probably comes from Philadelphia in the Fayum, after AD 37.
Epikrisis was the official scrutiny of status at age 14 that determined privileged tax categories. The word read as 'mesoeiris' in the first line is obscure, and 'middle-sized' is only a guess.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
