A census return submitted by a man whose mother was Helene, a resident of Ptolemais Euergetis (the Arsinoite metropolis), to the strategos, royal scribe, city scribe and quarter officials. He declares a quarter-share of a house and courtyard and registers himself (aged about 48) and members of his household for the census of Vespasian's 8th year (AD 75/76).

I own a fourth part of a house and courtyard in which I live, and I register myself and my household for the house-by-house census of the 8th year of Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus in the same quarter, in which I also registered in the 8th year of Nero […]. And I am […] the aforementioned, about 48 years old, with a scar under the right knee, and […] without distinguishing marks; […] daughter of […]thotes, about 30 years old, being (my?) daughter (?) […] who was […] in the 9th year […] without distinguishing marks, and the children born […] of her paternal grandfather's house […] and Artemis(?) […] […]

The left side of every line is lost and much of the heading is restored from parallel census returns; the identities and relationships of the household members are uncertain. Census returns of this period refer back to the previous fourteen-year census, here Nero's 8th year (AD 61/62).
