A short ostracon list of five men with the number of donkeys each supplied or owned, including a former gymnasiarch named Heron. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.
The catalogue calls this a list of donkey-drivers; the text only gives names with numbers of donkeys, perhaps for transport service. The abbreviation after Heron is expanded as 'former gymnasiarch', a municipal office.

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