Ptolemais was a tribe (phyla) added by the ancient Athenians to the previous list of 12 Athenian tribes (forming the demes). The date of the addition used to be subject of a scientific discourse, but modern researchers agree with William Scott Ferguson who (in 1932) suggested that the event took place in 224-223 B.C..

While Athenians added the new phyla at the 7th place of their list, modern researchers use Roman numerals XIII to designate Ptolemais.
