A fragmentary ostracon account recording quantities of barley, measured in matia, in relation to amounts of date stones. It comes from Trimithis (modern Amheida) in the Dakhla Oasis.
The mation is a local dry measure. The 'bones' or 'stones' (osteon) are understood as date stones, which were probably used as fodder or fuel, and the barley may have been given in exchange for them; 'Pmoun Phib' may be a toponym or a personal name.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Account of barley and date stones). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
