A short ostracon listing six men's names, some with their fathers' names. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD; it may record men assigned to compulsory public work.
The purpose of the list is not stated; the suggestion that these were liturgical workers (men doing compulsory public service) is only a guess.

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