A census declaration submitted by four brothers, sons of Petos, to Apion, royal scribe of the Prosopite nome, registering their shares of a house with an oil press and empty plots in the village of Thelbonthon Siphtha, none of them inhabited. It was filed on 19 July 174 and written for them by Agathos Daimon because they were illiterate.

We, Pantbeus and Tothoennesis and the brothers, have submitted it as stated above. I, Agathos Daimon son of Saiphis, wrote on their behalf, as they do not know letters. Through Harpok[...], column 42.

The numbers 105 at the top and 'column 42' at the end show this declaration was pasted into a composite official roll. The share arithmetic in the middle is garbled by scribal omissions supplied by the editor.
