A short order from Eulogios, a riparius (local police official), to the village headman of Paneuei, instructing him to bring Petros son of Paulos, whom he had arrested in a hamlet, to the city immediately. It dates to about AD 346-350 and comes from Oxyrhynchus.

In English machine translation

From Eulogios, riparius, to the headman of Paneuei. Petros son of Paulos, whom you arrested in the hamlet of Pegoulios son of Aphthonios, make haste to bring him this very hour to the city. Farewell.

A riparius was a police official responsible for public order in a district; the kephalaiotes was the headman of the village. The hamlet may instead be named after its owner Pegoulios son of Aphthonios.
