Fragment of a register of persons from Ptolemais Euergetis, the capital of the Arsinoite nome, dating to the 2nd century AD. It lists individuals with their occupations (grape-picker, flute-player, sack-carrier), places of origin, mothers' names, and wives living with them.

The phrase 'wife living with him' (synkatoikousa gyne) suggests a household register, possibly connected with census declarations. The listing of mothers' names rather than fathers' is common in such registers.
