List of names, perhaps of liturgical workers

An ostracon listing personal names, some followed by numbers, perhaps workers performing compulsory public service. It dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
The first line is incomplete; 'demosios' (public) may describe the work or workers, and the place name Karanis was deleted by the scribe. The letters nu and lambda after names may be numerals (50, 30) or abbreviations whose meaning is uncertain.
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.
