A census return from Oxyrhynchus in which Ploution, aged 48, registers his quarter share of a house in the North Quay quarter and its occupants: himself, his two daughters and several slaves. It was filed for the census of year 10 of Septimius Severus and Caracalla, on the orders of the prefect Maecius Laetus, around AD 202-203.
