An order from the prytanis (president of the city council) of Oxyrhynchus to the village heads and public officials of Pakerke, telling them to hand over a former legal clerk and his mother Besous to a police officer. The arrest follows a petition by a woman named Isidora.
A nomophylax was a local police official, and a nomikarios a legal clerk or notary; the wanted man's name is only partly preserved.
