A short letter on an ostracon from Mons Claudianus in which a man whose name ends in -kerinoutis asks Sabinus to supply water to a quarry named after Apollon.
In English machine translation
[…]kerinoutis to Sabinus, greetings.
Please supply water to the quarry of Apollon (?) […]
Farewell.
The quarry name 'of Apollon' is partly restored, and the word before 'water' is too damaged to read. Water had to be supplied to quarries in this desert region, which explains the request.
