A Latin roster of soldiers of the Ala III Assyriorum, a cavalry unit stationed at Oxyrhynchus under the emperor Constantine and his Caesars. It lists officers and men, all named Flavius, with their ranks and years of service.
The recurring abbreviation 'ex' before names probably marks a former rank or office, and 'stip' (stipendia) gives years of service; the numbers are mostly lost. Princeps, decurio, summus, actuarius and cataphractarius are Roman military ranks and posts with no exact English equivalent.
