The Arsacid Diary on Politai is a historiographical text from ancient Babylonia. It is an Astronomical Diary and describes a river crossing by a Parthian king and his arrival in Babylon (?), and refers to the city's Greek citizens (politai). 

 

The cuneiform tablet (BM 35769) is in the British Museum. On this website, a reading is proposed by Bert van der Spek of the Free University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Irving Finkel of the British Museum.
