An ostracon listing the names of men with their fathers' names, one identified as a donkey-driver, with a decurion (dekanos) named at the end and a total of men. Probably a work-gang or labour roster from Roman Egypt, 2nd to 3rd century AD.
The dekanos was the leader of a group of about ten men, often in labour or guard details. The opening '11' may be a number or date.
