Fragment of a list of persons with their ages, probably from a census or household register, from the Arsinoite nome in the 2nd century AD. One person is described as literate and another as a secretary.
In English machine translation
[…] aged 8 […]
[…] aged 3 (?) […]
[…] knowing letters, aged 45
[…] […] secretary, aged 45
[…] […] worker (?), aged […]
[…] son of (?) […]non […] [aged] […]
The phrase "knowing letters" marks a person as literate. The ending -ergos in line 5 probably belongs to an occupational term such as "worker", but the word is incomplete.
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.
