A fragmentary ostracon listing personal names, probably of soldiers, one of whom (Pistos) is given the rank of princeps. It comes from Kysis (Douch) in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
Princeps was a senior non-commissioned rank in the late Roman army; the title is restored here, so the military character of the list rests partly on that restoration. 'Kar' before Sabinus is an unexplained abbreviation.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Liste de militaires). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
