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.
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.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Orders for arrest). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
