A fragmentary ostracon pass from Mons Claudianus, in which a centurion instructs the station guards on the Akanthos road to let someone or something through. It is dated Mesore 10 and probably belongs to the reign of Trajan (AD 98-117).
Such passes ("let pass") were issued to travellers or carriers moving between the desert stations. The centurion's name is only partly preserved, and both "station guards" and "road" are restored.
