A short ostracon listing six men's names, some with their fathers' names. It was probably written at Karanis in the Arsinoite nome (Fayum) in the early 4th century AD, perhaps as a list of men assigned to compulsory public work.

In English machine translation

Germanos Kanaous son of Harpalos Ptolemaios Billas son of Akatas Aphrodiskos (?) Arios son of Onninos

The purpose of the list is not stated. The suggestion that these were men doing compulsory public service (liturgies) is a guess. The genitive Aphrodiskou on line 5 may be a patronymic belonging with Ptolemaios or Billas rather than a separate name.
