A copy of that edict, now in the British Library, reads: “Seeing that the time has come for the house to house census, it is necessary to compel all those who for any cause whatsoever are residing out of their nomes [districts] to return to their own homes, that they may both carry out the regular order of the census, and may also attend diligently to the cultivation of their allotments. ”
Salinan dekret itu, kini disimpan di British Library, berbunyi, ” Mengingat waktunya telah tiba untuk sensus dari rumah ke rumah, semua orang, yang karena alasan apa pun berdiam di luar nome [distrik] mereka, perlu didesak untuk kembali ke kampung halaman mereka sendiri, agar mereka dapat menjalankan peraturan resmi sensus, dan juga dengan rajin menggarap lahan mereka. ”
