Petition of Tryphon against Teos over a partnership in leased land TM 3328Magdola (Arsinoites)13. Jan. 218 v.Chr.

Petition addressed to King Ptolemy by Tryphon son of Antigonos, complaining that Teos, who had leased land and agreed to share it and draw up a joint lease with him, refused to do so and shut him out of the partnership and the work. He asks that the strategos Diophanes have the case judged; the subscription instructs the epistates Rhodon to reconcile the parties or send them for judgment. Dated 218 BC, from Magdola in the Arsinoite nome.

Like other enteuxeis, it is formally addressed to the king but was handled by the strategos, whose instruction to the village epistates is written below. Chersos is uncultivated dry land, apparently part of the leased plot.
