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.

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.
