Two village headmen (komarchs) of Kynon Polis in the Arsinoite nome, Aurelius Ammonios and Aurelius Leontios, nominate a man from their village for a public service (liturgy), guaranteeing him at their own risk, to the praepositus of the 12th pagus. It is dated 16 February 330, and was written for them by Aurelius Polydoros because they were illiterate.

In English machine translation

To Aurelius Ammonios, praepositus of the 12th pagus, from the Aurelii Ammonios son of Thiarkas and Leontios son of Apion, both komarchs of the village of Kynon Polis. We give and report, at our own risk, as worker(?) […] being […] for the service, one who will serve blamelessly in the public service. Farewell. […] He is: Le[…]tos from the same village of Kynon. In the consulship of Flavius Gallicanus and Valerius Tullianus, the most illustrious, Mecheir 22. We, the Aurelii Ammonios and Leontios, have submitted this. I, Aurelius Polydoros, wrote on their behalf, as they are illiterate.

The exact service and the nominee's name are damaged; 'ergat-' suggests a worker. The praepositus pagi was the 4th-century official in charge of a rural district (pagus).

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