“…The most important limitation of the census material is that it is fragmentary. While the data provides more concrete evidence about age structure than any other evidence, it does not provide enough data for a complete sample of the population, though a recent study proposes new methods to help account for the fragmentary nature of the sources (Hin, Conde, and Lenart 2016). In addition, at times people misrepresented themselves in census data from Egypt (e.g., people may want to avoid paying taxes).…”

Although the purpose and format of these censuses changed throughout the long history of the Mediterranean civilization, they were primarily used to identify rights and obligations due; these included identifying men eligible for service in the legions, establishing taxation obligations, as well as voting rights and access to elected offices (Hin, Conde, and Lenart 2016).…”

“…Some of the most well preserved census records come from Egypt, owing to the dry conditions which have allowed many of these documents to survive the intervening centuries (Hin, Conde, and Lenart 2016).
