To the archephodos of the village of Soknopaiou Nesos. Send up Panephremmis and Ioul[…] […] who are accused by Tane[…] at once. […]

The archephodos was a village police chief; such summons follow a standard formula, which allows much of the lost text to be restored. The accuser's name survives only as Tane[…].
