A list from Narmuthis in the Fayum, dating to the 2nd-3rd century AD, headed "allotment of Hegoumenos". It assigns pairs of men to successive months, starting on the first day of each month from Pachon onward, apparently the result of a drawing of lots for a rota of duties.

In English machine translation

Allotment (kleros) of Hegoumenos: Pachon 1: Plousianos, Kennis. Pauni 1: Paueites, Ases. Epeiph 1: Dioskouros, Gelasis. Mesore 1: Neilos the poulterer, […] Thoth 1: Tryphon son of Tryphon, Ammonios. Phaophi 1: Sarapion son of Tryphon, Apion […] Sarapion […] Tryphon […]

Greek klēros can mean a plot of land or a lot drawn; the catalogue title describes the text as a table of a drawing of lots. Hegoumenos may be a personal name or a title (leader, superior).
