Fragment of a document dated by the regnal year of the emperors Philip the Arab and his son Philip, with names including Maximia(nos?), Mittios, someone also called Syrion, and an Aurelia. A mention of a scar suggests a personal description, as found in contracts or official documents, from Roman Egypt in AD 247-249.

The word 'scar' points to the physical description of a party, common in contracts and declarations. The honorific 'most eminent' (diasemotatos) is the title of an equestrian official such as a prefect.
