Fragment of an official day-book (hypomnematismoi) of a strategos from Oxyrhynchus, recording an official's movements, including a visit to the theatre and sacrifices in the Sebasteion, the temple of the imperial cult. The mention of Pertinax and of acclamations suggests celebrations connected with the emperor.

The name Pertinax may point to the emperor of AD 193, possibly to festivities on his accession, but the context is lost. The Sebasteion was the temple of the imperial cult.
