A short list of men's names, mostly with their fathers' names, written on a potsherd. 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 right side of the list is broken, so most fathers' names are restored or lost. The purpose of the list is not stated; 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.
