An ostracon listing a work gang of ten men headed by a decurion (dekanos), each named with father and often grandfather. It dates to the AD 2nd-3rd century and is numbered 36.
The dekanos was the leader of a group of about ten men, probably labourers on dike or canal work. The count of ten is reached only if Psais the slave and Asklas are read as separate men, and the decurion is not counted.
