A fragmentary ostracon listing Egyptian personal names, with a second group of people counted from the 9th of Hathyr, followed by sums in obols and drachmas, an expense, and a mention of a helmsman. It seems to be a list of names, perhaps an account, from the 1st or 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] (?) […] […]ros son of Paeris […] Phthomonthes son of Hamsouphis […] Pamonthes son of Pasemis and […] Papousthis and Patsebthis […] Psensenphthomonthes and […] Others, from Hathyr 9: Pasemis son of Horos […] Pamonthes son of N[…] and Harpaesis son of Pm[…] […] 3, 4 obols […] of expense […] […] helmsman […] […] 100 drachmas 4 drachmas […] […] […]

The names, such as Phthomonthes and Psensenphthomonthes, are typical of Upper Egypt, around Thebes. The word kybernetes means the helmsman or pilot of a boat, suggesting the list may concern a boat crew.
