An ostracon from Thebes listing about ten men by name and patronymic, headed by the number 19 and including a dekanos (head of a group of ten). It is a list of a work or liturgical group (a 'decany') from the early 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

19 Pikos son of Onnophris Onnophris his son Esminis the elder, son of Horos Kametis son of Psenchonsis Pikos his son Psenchonsis likewise (son of) Petemenophis (Dekanos) Psenminis son of Onnophris Petemenophis likewise Psenamounis likewise, son of Ollos Gaios the elder, son of Gaios

A dekanos was the leader of a group of about ten men, often organised for compulsory labour such as dike work. 'Likewise' (homoios) probably repeats a preceding descriptor or patronymic.
