An order from the local officer responsible for keeping the peace to the village heads and public officials of Karanis, instructing them to send up at once a man accused by Paisis son of Neas, an oil-maker. It dates to about AD 308-309 and comes from the Arsinoite nome.
In English machine translation
From the officer in charge of the peace.
To the komarchs and public officials of the village of Karanis. [...] [...] [accused] by Paisis son of Neas, oil-maker, immediately. [...]
The name of the accused and the verb of the order are lost; 'accused' is a restoration. Komarchs were village heads; the 'officer in charge of the peace' (eirenarch-type official) handled local policing.
