Fragmentary list of names with numbers and health notes TM 24135Mons Claudianus

Fragmentary ostracon from the Roman quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert, listing personal names, each followed by the numbers 2 and 3 or by the word "healthy". It appears to be a roster or record kept for the workforce, perhaps noting the condition of workers.

In English machine translation

The Greek letters beta and gamma are read here as the numerals 2 and 3; their exact meaning in this list (days, shifts or columns of a tally) is uncertain. The word "healthy" (hygia) suggests a sick-list or health roster of the kind known from Mons Claudianus.
