A list of personal names on an ostracon from the Roman quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert, dating to the first half of the 2nd century AD. It mixes Roman names (Cassius Longus, Claudius Sabinus, Valerius Clemens) with non-Greek, possibly Thracian or other foreign names, likely workers or soldiers.
The opening 'α' may be a numeral (1) and 'maiōr' renders Latin maior, 'the elder'. Several names were partly deleted by the scribe, so their readings are uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
