Petition of Iollas against Nikodemos concerning 6 arouras of land TM 3366Ghoran (Arsinoites)

Fragmentary petition to King Ptolemy from Iollas, a military settler holding 100 arouras, complaining that he has been wronged by Nikodemos in a matter involving 6 arouras of land he had bought and a payment in grain or money. He asks the king to have the strategos Aphthonetos instruct the epistates of the village of Apias to send Nikodemos and compel him to pay what he owes.

In English machine translation

Petitions of this type (enteuxeis) were addressed to the king but handled by the strategos; Aphthonetos was strategos of the Arsinoite nome in the later 3rd century BC. A 'hundred-aroura man' was a cleruch, a soldier granted a plot of land of that size.
