Fragment of a house-by-house census return from Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe) in the Fayum, filed for the census of year 10 of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. It registers residents of a house in the Linen-weavers' quarter, including the wine-seller Heroninos son of Pasion, aged 48, his wife Sabina, and several children.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] from the city of the Arsinoites […] of the most splendid city of the Alexandrians and however they are styled, through the agent Heroninos son of Pasion, son of […], his mother being Helene, katoikos, we registered by another memorandum, in the house belonging to us in the Linen-weavers' quarter, the residents written below, for the house-by-house census of the past year 10 of our lords the Emperors Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius, Augusti, ⟦and Publius Septimius Geta Caesar Augustus⟧, in the same Linen-weavers' quarter, in which we also registered in the house-by-house census of year 28; and they are: the aforementioned Heroninos son of Pasion […], wine-seller, aged 48, and his wife Sabina daughter of Her[…]on, aged 26, and the daughter of Sabina, Her[…], aged […], and by his wife Sarapias […] the daughter […] aged […] […] born to him from […] […] registered […] […] and Apollonios […] […] registered among those born later, aged […] […]

The name of Geta was deleted from the imperial titulature, apparently after his damnatio memoriae in 212. The quarter is spelled once 'Dinyphion', apparently a slip for 'Linyphion' (Linen-weavers).
