An ostracon with a list of names of men described as public workers, identified in the catalogue as donkey-drivers, each given with his father's name. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.
The heading's abbreviation is read as 'of the citizens' and 'public'. The identification as donkey-drivers comes from the catalogue description, not from the surviving text. The list breaks off after the sixth line.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Donkey-Drivers). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
