The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
An ostracon list of names, apparently of guards (vigiles), each preceded by tally strokes, from the Roman quarry station at Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert. It dates to the mid-2nd century AD.
The strokes before each name probably count units such as days or shifts. The final words seem to be Latin terms in Greek letters ("signifer", standard-bearer, and "Pietatis", perhaps a unit or name); "phrygonatoi" is obscure.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Lists 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.
