Fragment of a census declaration in which a man named Tyrannos, aged 28, registers himself for the 14th year of Marcus Aurelius. His host Isidoros, the householder with whom he lodges, guarantees his poll-tax payments, and Tyrannos swears an oath that the declaration is true. It was written in year 15 (AD 174-175) at Memphis.
A stathmouchos was the householder providing lodging; here he stands surety for the lodger's poll taxes (epikephalia). The 14th year is the census year 173/4, while the declaration is dated in year 15.
