An ostracon from the Roman quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus listing four men assigned to the night watches on Thoth 29, numbered first to fourth. It dates to about AD 140.
The word bigla (Latin vigilia) refers to the watch periods of the night, and the numbers 1 to 4 likely assign each man to one of the four watches. The final word repeats the heading.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Vigiles). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
