Fragment of an account recording payments made from public funds for religious processions (komasiai), entered month by month (Tybi, Phamenoth, Epeiph, Mesore). It mentions the deified emperor Gordian, a royal scribe, Agathos Daimon and a deputy strategos, and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome in the mid-3rd century AD.

A komasia was a festive procession, often honouring the gods or the imperial cult; the reference to the deified Gordian suggests a date after the reign of Gordian III (AD 238-244).
