Nomination of villagers to compulsory public services (liturgies), addressed to Philoxenos, praepositus of the 5th pagus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, by the tesserarius and two komarchs (village headmen) of Sarapionos Chairemonos. The officials take personal responsibility for the nominees, who were to serve in the coming year; the list of names is lost.
The year numbers 19, 17 and 9 are concurrent regnal years of the reigning emperors. A tesserarius and komarchs were village officials, and a praepositus pagi oversaw a district of the nome.
