Two short orders to village police chiefs (archephodoi) to send up named men: Dionysios and Hermophilos from one village, and Theon and his brothers from Paneuis, the latter on the complaint of Dionysios. From Oxyrhynchos, 2nd to 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

To the chief of police of Syron (?). Send Dionysios and Hermophilos, both ⟦…⟧ To the chief of police of Paneuis. Send Theon and his brothers, on the petition of ⟦Hermophilos⟧ Dionysios.

Such summonses were issued after a complaint was lodged with an official. The scribe first wrote Hermophilos as the complainant, then corrected it to Dionysios. 'Syron' and 'Paneuis' are probably village names, but this is uncertain.
