A short order for arrest, instructing local officials to send up at once certain persons who are accused by the daughter of Theogeiton and charged by the village heads (komarchs) of Philadelphia. It dates to the end of the 3rd century AD and comes from Ptolemais Euergetis in the Arsinoite nome.
Komarchs were village heads responsible for local administration and policing. Such summons orders were typically issued by a higher official to village authorities.
