A short ostracon account of grain from Trimithis in the Dakhla Oasis, dated to AD 316-317. It records quantities in artabas and matia under the date Choiak 3, with amounts against several individuals (Herakl(…), Asklas, Hermodoros) and a note of what was received.

In English machine translation

Choiak 3: 18 artabas 2 matia Likewise: 12 artabas 8 (matia?) Herakl(…): 2 artabas Of which received: 12 artabas 8 (matia?) Asklas: 17 artabas 2 matia Hermodoros: 1 artaba Herak(…): 2 artabas

The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The figures 'ιβ η' may mean 12 artabas 8 matia, though the unit for the second figure is not written.
