At Bu-Njem were discovered 146 Latin ostraca of which 117 contained records
of a military unit which was stationed here in the early-mid third century—a
detachment of the III Augusta, at least up to AD 238 when the legion was
disbanded. The ostracon translated forms part of a daily report presumably
sent to the commanding officer, and from which information could be extracted
for a more detailed report.
