An ostracon with a list of men's names, some with their fathers' names, 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.

In English machine translation

Alexandros […] Polydeukes […] Serenos […] Harpalos […] Ammonas […] Kastor son of Paesis Alexandros […] Heron son of Heron […] Syrion […] […]

The right side of each line is lost, so patronymics or other details after the names are mostly missing. The suggestion that these were liturgical workers is only a guess.

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.
