A fragmentary ostracon from Narmuthis in the Fayum listing personal names against dates on the 1st and 16th of Egyptian months (Epeiph, Mesore, Phaophi). It appears to be a schedule of services or duties performed by individuals in turn, dating to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.
The catalogue title calls it a table of 'bimonthly' services, possibly meant as 'twice-monthly', which fits the entries on days 1 and 16. The months appear in reverse order (Phaophi, Mesore, Epeiph), so the list may run backwards or the order may reflect layout.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Tableau de prestations bimestrielles (l. bimensuelles?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
