A census return (house-by-house registration) submitted by Piathres son of Petechon, a 27-year-old farmer of the village of Machor in the Herakleopolite nome, for the census of Hadrian's 16th year. He declares a house and courtyard inherited from his mother, in which he and his 70-year-old father Petechon are registered.
The census of year 16 of Hadrian corresponds to AD 131/132; returns were usually filed the following year, and Flavius Titianus was prefect of Egypt at that time. The second person, aged 70, is presumably the declarant's father Petechon.
