Fragmentary letter or report on an ostracon from Julius Ammonios, curator of the quarry station of Mons Claudianus, to the imperial procurator Aurelius Age[…]. He reports an incident in the month of Pauni involving his money, grain measured in matia and a conversation with someone who told him to secure something.
The curator was the officer in charge of a station or fort. A mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The plural 'Caesars' is restored and would point to a period of joint emperors.
