An ostracon listing seven men's names, one of them described as a veteran, with the rest of each line lost. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD; the list may record people performing compulsory public services.
The word after Dios is restored as "veteran" from only two surviving letters. The suggestion that these were liturgical workers comes from the catalogue description, not from the surviving text.
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.
