He lists himself, his wife and two sons, declares his half share of a house, and swears the imperial oath; it is dated 11 March 147 and countersigned by village officials.

In English machine translation

To Julius Saturninus, strategos of the Herakleopolite nome, from Petesouchos son of Pisois, his mother being Thenamennis, of those from the village of Ankyron. I register, for the 9th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, in accordance with the orders of Valerius Proculus the prefect, in respect of the half share belonging to me of a house and forecourt (?). I am: Petesouchos, aged 42, without distinguishing marks; my wife Tausiris daughter of Pareitis, aged 34; Pnephoros my son, aged 17; Psenamounis, my other son, aged 5, without distinguishing marks. Pnephoros his son, having become 17 years old, is abroad (?). I own in the same village other buildings, and my wife Tausiris owns other buildings. And I swear by the fortune of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius and by the god of the nome Herakles that I have submitted the above registration soundly and truthfully, and that I have told no lie, nor omitted anyone who ought to be registered by me, nor used a homonym, nor substituted anyone at the examination; otherwise may I be liable to the oath. Year 10 of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Phamenoth 15. Mareis through Alphynchis son of Phib(…), Oue(…) son of Harpsemis, and Pachnoubis son of Ep[…]os […] I, […] son of Isidoros, village scribe, through Panas, have signed.

The census year (year 9, AD 145/6) precedes the filing date in year 10, as was normal for these returns. The note on Pnephoros being abroad is partly restored, and the sense of 'pronesion' (forecourt or annex) is uncertain.
