An ostracon listing eight men, most identified by their fathers' names and one by his occupation as a shepherd. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD; the purpose of the list is not stated, though it may record men performing compulsory public service.

The suggestion that these were liturgical workers (men doing compulsory public service) comes from the catalogue description, not from the text itself.
