The limestone ostracon has been used on both sides. One side shows a short letter formula, the other a list of saint names, possibly as part of an invocation.
The verso reads:
+ ⲟ ⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲡⲁ ⲇⲓⲟⲥ
ⲟ ⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲡⲁ ⲫⲓⲃⲁⲙ
ⲁⲡⲁ ⲡ[ ]
ⲟ ⲁⲅⲓ[ⲟⲥ ]
'Saint Apa Dios, saint Apa Phoibammon, Apa[ Papnouthios (?)], saint […]'
