Only the closing official instruction (apostille) survives from a petition to the king: the official Ptolemaios is told to reconcile the parties if possible, or else send them on for judgment under the laws. On the back the case is identified as Demetrios against Nikandros. It dates to December 222 BC and comes from Ghoran in the Arsinoite nome.
