Petition to the king about a contract held by the deceased's son-in-law TM 3326Magdola (Arsinoites)

A petition addressed to King Ptolemy by Alexandros, a Lysimacheus, concerning a contract he made with the late Theugenes son of Korragos. Because the contract's keeper, Satyros, is Theugenes' son-in-law, Alexandros asks that the strategos Diophanes have the epistates Philotas summon Satyros so the document is not tampered with; the verso carries the official instruction to Philotas.

In English machine translation

The syngraphophylax was a private custodian of a contract, entrusted with keeping the sealed original. Diophanes was strategos of the Arsinoite nome in the late 3rd century BC, the usual date of the Magdola petitions.
