An ostracon note from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert recording that a decurion named Mageiren and five Barbarians, sent by Baratit, sub-chief of the Barbarians, arrived and were issued supplies. They received one kolophonion measure and twelve pairs of bread loaves on Phaophi 1, around AD 264.
In English machine translation
There came to me Mageiren, decurion, and the 5 Barbarians with him, sent by Baratit, sub-chief (hypotyrannos) of the Barbarians, and I gave them 1 kolophonion and 12 pairs of bread rations, on Phaophi 1.
The hypotyrannos was a subordinate chief of the desert peoples (probably Blemmyes) called 'Barbarians' in the Didymoi ostraca. The kolophonion is a container or measure, probably of wine; the abbreviation's expansion is the editor's.
