An ostracon listing six or seven men, each identified by his own name and his father's name. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD; the men may have been liturgical workers.
The last two lines may be read as one entry, "Sarapion son of Melas," split over two lines. The suggestion that these were liturgical workers comes from the catalogue description; the text itself does not say so.
