Fragment of a petition (enteuxis) with an accompanying record of proceedings, from Ghoran in the Arsinoite nome, dated 246-205 BC. Only scattered phrases survive, mentioning a debt, a hearing before Menandros, living together, and a temple; the recto ends with the usual instruction to send the parties if the matter is not settled, and a date of Phaophi 14.

The phrase 'otherwise, send' is part of the standard official endorsement on Ptolemaic petitions, ordering the parties to be sent for judgment if no settlement is reached. The year numeral before Phaophi is damaged.
