A list of totals, quarter by quarter, of men belonging to 'the three thousand', a privileged group of Oxyrhynchus citizens, for the month Pauni in year 2 of Claudius (Gothicus). It gives the number of men in each of the city's districts and adds them up.
'The three thousand' refers to a restricted body of citizens, probably those entitled to the corn dole at Oxyrhynchus. The totals contain scribal corrections and do not match each other exactly.
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 a Restricted Population Group). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
