In English machine translation
[Copy] of house-by-house
registration (census declaration)
To […], nomarch of the city of Antinoos, and
to Kastor
[…] of the Matideian tribe and the Thesmophorian deme, and
[…] son of Dionysios, of the Matideian tribe and the Markianeian deme,
[and] […]on son of Nemesion, of the Matideian tribe and the Kalliteknian deme, the three chosen for the house-by-house
registration
[…]
Citizens of Antinoopolis were identified by tribe and deme; 'Matideios' is the tribe name and the second term (Thesmophorios, Markianeios, Kalliteknios) the deme. The museum record narrows the date to about AD 170-240.
