An ostracon bearing a simple list of ten personal names, Greek, Egyptian and Latin in origin. It dates to the end of the 3rd century AD and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
The purpose of the list is not stated; the museum description suggests it may name men performing liturgical (compulsory public) service. The beginning is damaged, so further names may be lost.
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 Names). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
