An application for epikrisis (status scrutiny) submitted by Theanous, daughter of Horigenes, to the former gymnasiarchs in charge of the scrutiny, concerning her two slaves Bakchylos (14) and Chiliarchos (13). She cites earlier census returns from the reign of Antoninus Pius in which they were registered, and a previous scrutiny of another slave. Written at Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoite nome) in AD 166/167.
