A declaration submitted by Marcus Aurelius Apion son of Philippos to the systates of Oxyrhynchus registering for the first time his four children (two sons and two daughters) by his deceased wife Tisois, in the Dromos of Thoeris quarter. He asks that they be entered among their age-class and swears the Roman oath; it was written in Oxyrhynchus in July 291.
The systates was a ward official responsible for registers in Oxyrhynchus. The sons are registered in the privileged gymnasial class with reduced poll tax rate of 12 drachmas.
