An ostracon listing eight men, identified either by father's name or by occupation or office, including an oil-maker, a market official, a priest, a veteran and a village headman. 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 unknown; it has been tentatively described as a list of liturgical workers. An agoranomos was a market and notarial official, and a komarch was a village headman.
