	Papyrus petition from the Arsinoites (modern name:
	Fayyum), Egypt. Directed to Dionysios, the representative
	of the oikonomos (a financial official), in charge
	of the collection of taxes on vineyards in the Ibion
	area. Agathokles, Nearchos and someone else accuse
	three tax collectors, Ptolemaios, Apollonios, and
	someone else, of cheating. Since the market price
	of wine is low, the tax collectors are apparently
	demanding too much in cash for the tax on vineyards.
	Dated to Choiach 17, year 14 (January 24, 191 B.C.).
	In Greek.
	Descriptive database available in repository.
