A sworn land declaration submitted by Aurelius Horos son of Diskas, of the village of Hormos, to the censitor Julius Alexander under the tetrarchic census of Diocletian. He registers private sown and uncultivated land from two allotments in the Lower Peri Polin toparchy of the Hermopolite nome; a scribe signed for him because he was illiterate.

In English machine translation

[…] To Julius Alexander, the most eminent censitor, from Aurelius Horos son of Diskas, from the village of Hormos. In accordance with the divine command of our masters Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and Constantius and Maximian the most illustrious Caesars, I register that I hold in the tax-collection district of Ammon (?) of the Lower Peri Polin toparchy, from the kleros of Moschion, private land, sown, arouras […] and of the kleros of […], private land, dry (uncultivated), arouras […] and I swear by the Fortune of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and Constantius and Maximian the most illustrious Caesars that I have made the registration truthfully and faithfully and have committed no fraud at all nor omitted anything; otherwise may I be liable to the sacred oath, and to this, having been asked, I have agreed. Farewell. I, Aurelius Horos, have registered, swearing the sacred oath. I, Aurelius […]as, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. Read (legi). 4, 24, 179 […] […] […] […]

The Latin 'legi' ("I have read") is the census official's check mark; the closing figures are probably registration numbers. The arourae figures are lost.'Ammon' as name of the collection district is partly restored.'
