To Philoneikos, strategos of the Herakleopolite nome, from Petesouchos son of Pisoithis, his mother being Thenamennis, of those from the village of Ankyron. I register for the 16th year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, in accordance with the orders of Flavius Titianus the most excellent prefect, for the half share of a house and vestibule belonging to me. I am: Petesouchos, 28 years old, without distinguishing marks; my wife Tausiris daughter of Paris, 20 years old; Pnephoros, son, born abroad (?), 3 years old; Thenphrokos daughter of Psenamounis son of Thenamounis, her mother Tausiris, 50 years old. Thenphrokos daughter of Psenamounis also owns other buildings held in shared ownership (?). And I swear by the fortune of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian […] [… lines lost …] [fragment] […] that I have falsified nothing […] […] nor any other in the registration […] […] no one else […]

The prefect Flavius Titianus ordered the census for the 16th year of Hadrian (AD 131/2). The phrase 'epi xenes gegonos' is uncertain; it may mean the son was born or is staying away from home.
