Fragment of a household or census-type list of persons with their ages, mentioning poll-tax payers, a metropolitan resident, and the current 29th regnal year. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] aged 1[…] […] […] aged […] […] […] in the present […] […] poll-tax payer (?) aged […] […] aged […] […] son (?) of Sarapion, poll-tax payer, 5[…] […] aged 18 […] […] son of Herakleides, of the metropolis, aged 18 […] in the present 29th year […] Apollous, wife of Mys[…], aged 36 […] aged 11 […] aged 49 […] aged 19 […] aged 16

"Poll-tax payer" renders laographoumenos, a person liable to the Roman poll tax (laographia). A 29th year in the 2nd century points to the reign of Antoninus Pius or Marcus Aurelius with Commodus, but the text does not specify.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
