A list from Oxyrhynchus giving, district by district across the city's twelve named quarters, the numbers of men classed as rhemboi (vagrants or people absent from their registered place) and of homologoi. The first column totals 635 men, the second gives 100 as a heading figure and 93 as the sum.
Rhemboi were apparently persons not found at their registered domicile. Homologoi were a category of Egyptian peasants or residents of uncertain legal status. The individual figures of column 1 actually add up to 573, not the stated 635, and those of column 2 to 93, matching its total.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as District Totals of ὁμόλογοι and ῥεμβοί). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
