Fragmentary ostracon from Mons Claudianus, apparently a pass or order from a centurion to the soldiers posted at the stations on the road to Mons Porphyrites, concerning two men, one named Gorgias. It is dated Pachon 5, probably in the reign of Trajan.
Stationarii were soldiers manning road stations; such texts usually instruct them to let named persons pass. The word 'stationarii' is largely restored.
