Draft of a petition by a man, perhaps the son of Isidoros, concerning a woman who had worked as a weaver at Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome and from whom the nomarch there demanded the weavers' tax. She now lives with the petitioner elsewhere, and the text mentions the nomarch Aelius Eutychides and an appeal to the regulations.
