A bank record from Ptolemais Euergetis in the Arsinoite nome dated June 138, recording through the bank of Theogeiton at the market a payment connected with Nikarion daughter of Ammonios, acting with her brother as guardian, ceding a catoecic allotment of four arouras to Sarapion son of Ammonios. A related registration with the archive keepers precedes it.
Catoecic land was allotment land originally held by military settlers, transferable by 'cession' (parachoresis). Sosikosmios and Althaieus are the tribe and deme names of Alexandrian-style citizenship used by privileged Arsinoite residents.
