Fragmentary ostracon note from Mons Claudianus, sent by a curator (station overseer) to the soldiers manning the road stations, apparently concerning the passage of Alexandros and others. It is dated Phamenoth 25, probably in the reign of Trajan (AD 98-117).

In English machine translation

[…]…os, curator, […] to the stationarii, greetings. […]… Alexandros […]…taktos (?) and the […]… Phamenoth 25.

A curator was the officer in charge of a fort or station on the desert roads, and stationarii were the soldiers posted at the road stations. The word ending in -taktos may be a name or an adjective such as 'unassigned'.
