Fragment of an account, apparently of a religious association, listing expenses in the month of Pharmouthi for sacrifices, a garland, chickpeas, wood, vinegar, mustard, salt, pots, perfume, rushes and wine, with payments made through Orsenouphis and Inaros. Sums are in bronze drachmas and talents. It probably dates to the second half of the 2nd century BC.
