A land declaration made under oath by Aurelia Tinoutis of the village of Hormos to the census official Julius Alexander, registering private sown land from the kleros of Thoas, as required by the imperial census of Diocletian and his co-rulers. It was written for her by Aurelius Aniketos because she was illiterate, in the Hermopolite nome on 20 December 298.

To Julius Alexander, vir perfectissimus, censitor,
from Aurelia Tinoutis daughter of Bekis, from the village of Hormos. In accordance with the divine command of our masters Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and Constantius and Maximian the most illustrious Caesars, I register that I hold in the tax-collection district of the village of […] in the Lower Peri Polin toparchy, from the kleros of Thoas, of private land, sown, […] arouras.
And I swear by the Fortune of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and Constantius and Maximian the most illustrious Caesars that I have made the registration truthfully and faithfully and have committed no fraud or omission whatsoever; otherwise may I be liable to the sacred oath. And having been asked the formal question about this, I agreed. Farewell.
I, Aurelia Tinoutis, have registered, swearing the sacred oath. I, Aurelius Aniketos, wrote on her behalf since she does not know letters. Read (legi).
