A short ostracon list of men's names, each followed by the number 1, submitted through the village headmen (komarchs). The catalogue describes it as a list of donkey-drivers, probably from Karanis in the Fayum, late 3rd or early 4th century AD.
Komarchs were village headmen responsible for supplying men and animals for public services. The identification as donkey-drivers comes from the catalogue description and is not stated in the surviving text.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
