Fragment of an order addressed to an archephodos (village police chief) instructing him to send up a person, probably to appear before an official. Only a few words survive, including the name Simon. It dates to the 3rd century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

To the chief of police […] Send up [so-and-so son of so-and-so] […] […] (?) […] public (?) […] of Simon […]

The archephodos was a village police official; such summons orders are a standard type of Roman-period document. The words in lines 3 and 4 are too damaged for secure translation.
