A fragment listing the honorific month names introduced in Egypt under the emperor Gaius (Caligula), named after him and members of his family. It comes from Oxyrhynchus and dates to about AD 37-42.
The names (e.g. Gaieios, Germanikeios, Agrippineios, Drousilleios) honour Gaius, his father Germanicus, his mother Agrippina and his sister Drusilla. They are kept in transliterated form because they are month names with no English equivalent.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Calendar of Gaius). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
