A census return submitted to the district officials of Oxyrhynchus by Thermoutharion daughter of Thoonis, acting with her guardian Apollonios son of Sotades, listing the residents of her house. It ends with her oath by the emperor Claudius that no other persons live there, dated in the autumn of AD 48.

In English machine translation

To Dorion, strategos, and Apollonios, royal scribe, and Didymos and Apollonios, topogrammateis and komogrammateis, from Thermoutharion daughter of Thoonis, with her guardian Apollonios son of Sotades. The persons living in the house belonging to me in the South Lane (?) […] are: […] Thermoutharion, freedwoman of the aforementioned Sotades, aged about 65, of medium height, honey-coloured complexion, long face, a scar on the right knee. Total, 2 women. I, the aforementioned Thermoutharion, with my same guardian Apollonios, swear by Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator that I have truly and honestly submitted the preceding return of those living with me, and that no one else lives with me, neither a stranger nor an Alexandrian nor a freedman nor a Roman nor an Egyptian, apart from those registered above. If I swear truly, may it be well with me; if falsely, the opposite. Year 9 of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Phaophi […].

Several lines listing the other household member are lost; the surviving entry describes a freedwoman by age and physical marks, as was usual in such returns. The topogrammateis and komogrammateis were district and village scribes.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Census Return). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
