The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
An ostracon listing names under the heading "Palmyrenes", headed by a centurion, apparently a roster of soldiers or personnel at the Roman desert fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert. It dates to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD.
Palmyrene units, often archers, served in Roman Egypt; the heading suggests these men belonged to such a detachment. The numeral 2 after Iulius Antiochos may be a count or a mark rather than part of the name, and the end of the list is lost.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Listes de noms). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
