Fragment of a petition (enteuxis) addressed to the king from Magdola in the Arsinoite nome, apparently concerning fires or burnings and an inspection and valuation of damage. It preserves the closing 'Farewell' and an official endorsement (docket) dated Year 1, Gorpiaios 30, Tybi 13, corresponding to 27 February 221 BC.

The term empyrismos may refer to arson or to the burning of crops or property; the context is too damaged to be sure. 'Laoi' designates the native peasant population.
