Fragment of a report of an offence (prosangelma) addressed to an official named Ptolemaios by Herakleides son of Herakleides of Philoteris in the Arsinoite nome. He recounts that in year 15, on going up to Krokodilopolis, he was seized by Dositheos and others, apparently from the village of Autodike, and seems to have been shut in; he also mentions giving something to a certain Pitos.

A prosangelma was a formal report of a wrong lodged with a local official, usually so that it would be recorded. The date assumes that year 15 refers to the reign of Ptolemy IV.
