Fragment of a census return from Oxyrhynchus, submitted by a man of a family of former gymnasiarchs through a representative named Antonius, registering persons living in his house. It refers to the census of the 19th year of Antoninus Pius and dates to AD 155-156.

The 19th year of Antoninus Pius (AD 155/156) was a year of the fourteen-year provincial census, which is why the return was filed then. Only the opening formulas survive, so the persons registered are lost.
