A receipt issued by two exegetes of Arsinoe, acting as curators of tunics and white cloaks, to two village komarchs, acknowledging delivery of the tunic and cloak owed by their village. It is dated in the first year of Diocletian, probably 10 February 285, in the Arsinoite nome.
The tunics (sticharia) and cloaks (pallia) were clothing levied from villages for the army; the exegetes here act as officials supervising this requisition. The second exegetes' patronymic and the village name are damaged.
