Fragment of a petition (enteuxis) addressed to the Ptolemaic king, in which the petitioner complains of being oppressed by a certain Dionysios. He asks the king to instruct the local chrematists to order Dionysios to stop harassing him until the case can be heard before them. Late 3rd to early 2nd century BC.
The chrematists were travelling Ptolemaic royal judges who heard civil cases in the districts. The scribe wrote αὐτον, corrected to αὐτῶι (against him).
