Note on the progress of a petition submitted to the king TM 316740Arsinoites ?Between 250 and 150 B.C.

Fragmentary note, apparently written by a petitioner, recording the course of a petition that was handed to the king in the month Xandikos and then passed to an official named Argaios. It names several persons, including Theodotos as the eisagogeus (introducer of cases), and mentions that the writer was later sent elsewhere. It probably comes from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum) in the late 3rd century BC.

In English machine translation

The eisagogeus was the Ptolemaic court officer who introduced cases before a tribunal, especially Greek-language courts. The catalogue description of the object gives a broader date range of 250 to 150 BC.
