An ostracon from the quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus listing men by name, each preceded by a Roman numeral, under the day numbers 11 and 12. It belongs to a series of lists of night watchmen (vigiles) and dates to the mid-2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

11 I Neilos III Pamineis IIII Herakleides II Dioskoros II Hermias I Psentaesis IIII Apollinaris III Sarapion son of Apol(lonios?) 12 phrygonato (?) Sarapion son of Apol(lonios?) Signum (?) Martis (?)

The Roman numerals probably indicate the night watch assigned to each man; 'signen' seems to render Latin signum, the watchword, with 'Martis' possibly the password. 'phrygonato' is obscure.
