A small fragment of an ostracon from the Roman fort of Didymoi in Egypt's Eastern Desert. It names a Domitius Saturninus twice and mentions the Ituraeans, probably a unit of Ituraean auxiliary soldiers.

The Ituraeans were a people from the Syrian region who served in the Roman army. Here the name probably refers to an auxiliary cohort of Ituraeans, and Domitius Saturninus may have been one of its soldiers. The document type cannot be determined. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
