94 To Apion, royal scribe of the Prosopite nome, from Pantbeus son of Phibis. I register, in accordance with the orders of Calvisius Statianus, the most illustrious prefect, for the house-by-house census now taking place under good auspices, the property belonging to me in the village of Thelbonthon Siphtha: a house and vacant plots of Pantbeus son of Phibis the younger, son of Pnepheros, in which there live: Pantbeus son of Phibis the younger, son of Pnepheros, mother Thasachmounis daughter of Pnepheronphis, lame (?), aged 69, with a scar on the left cheek; Taapollos daughter of Orsenouphis, mother Taaronnesis, [...] aged 52; Isidoros son of Pantbeus, a son of both parents, aged 3, without distinguishing marks; Pkouthis son of Pantbeus, the brother, mother Thaesis daughter of Perpheis, aged 35; Thermouthis daughter of Nemesas son of Tithoes, mother Tatithoes, the wife, aged 16; Phibis the brother, mother Taapollos daughter of Orsenouphis, aged 21, without distinguishing marks; Thermouthis, sister and wife, of the same parents, aged 13; Taaronnesis, the sister, of the same parents, aged 24. Year 14 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Germanicus Maximus, Epeiph 25. I, Pantbeus son of Phibis, the aforementioned, have submitted this as stated above. I, Petos son of Petsiris, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. Through Harpok[...], column 42.

The household includes a brother-sister marriage (Thermouthis is called both sister and wife), a practice well attested in Roman Egypt. The abbreviations after the names of Pantbeus and Taapollos are uncertain and their reading as 'lame' is doubtful; the number 94 and the column number refer to the document's place in a filed roll.
