Fragment of a Ptolemaic petition or complaint from Magdola in the Arsinoite nome, written between 246 and 205 BC. The writer protests that someone has acted bitterly against him although he has done no wrong, accuses him further, and asks for a hearing before the addressee, proposing outcomes depending on whether he can prove his case.
