An ostracon from Trimithis in the Great Oasis recording rations or provisions: bread, wine, a chicken, hay and barley. The reverse is largely illegible apart from the month name Choiak.

In English machine translation

[side convex] 20 loaves of bread, 20 tiphagia(?) 2 jars of wine, 1 chicken 10 bundles of hay 5 matia of barley for the […] … [side concave] … … Choiak

The abbreviation read as tiphagia is uncertain in meaning, perhaps a kind of food item. The mation is a small dry measure.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ration account). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
