Fragments of a festival calendar listing the sacrifices, processions and attendance at the races (in the Lageion) required of an official, apparently the gymnasiarch, on imperial and religious feast days. Occasions include the deification of Antinoos, the victory celebrations of Marcus Aurelius, the birthday of the deified Verus and the anniversary of Hadrian's arrival in the city.

The Lageion was a hippodrome named after the Ptolemaic dynasty (Lagids); 'he sits' likely refers to presiding over races there. The text could also be classed as an official regulation of civic cult duties.
