A census return filed by Tithoes son of Psenamounis, a 53-year-old farmer originally from the village of Mesobe but living in Kellis, addressed to the village scribe and census officials of Mesobe.

I register for the present 9th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, in accordance with the orders of Valerius Proculus the most excellent prefect, the house belonging to me in the eastern quarter of Kellis, in which I live: I, the aforementioned Tithoes son of Psenamounis son of Psais, mother [Tase]chthis, farmer, aged 53, scar on left knee.

Year [9] of [Antoninus] Caesar [the lord], Pauni […] […]

Laographoi were officials responsible for the population and poll-tax registers. The abbreviation 'klōth' is taken here as a form of 'weaver' (klōstēs/klōthō, spinner), which is uncertain.
