Fragment of a Latin ostracon from the quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus in the Eastern Desert, listing soldiers' names under a Roman calendar date. The names are assigned to numbered slots (first to fourth), probably night watches or guard duties.

In English machine translation

[…] … Julius Isidorus […] … Po…[…] … Serenus, Vilius (?) […] 14th day before the Kalends […] third (watch?): Julius Serenus […] fourth: Corius (?) Ammonius […] first: Germanus Ori[…] second: Vibius …[…] […]

The abbreviations t(ertia), q(uarta), p(rima), s(ecunda) are most likely numbered watches (vigiliae) of a guard roster; the expansions of the abbreviated names are uncertain.
