A short official order addressed to the chief of police (archephodos) and the village elders of Herakleia in the Arsinoite nome, instructing them not to harass a man named Akiaris. It probably dates to the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

To the archephodos and elders of Herakleia: do not trouble Akiaris.

The archephodos was a village police chief; orders of this kind protected individuals from harassment by local authorities. The word archephodos is partly supplied by the editor, as the scribe omitted some letters.
