Fragmentary account on an ostracon listing individuals with quantities of grain in artabas, noting who has paid in full or still owes a remainder, and ending with a jar. It comes from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert, late 2nd to mid 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] […] … 1 1/7 (?) artabas Plenis 1 1/6 artabas Pakybis, paid in full Syros 1 artaba Eudaimon 7 artabas Kaikilis, remainder 1 artaba Eponychos son of Hera(…) 1 jar

The fractions after the artaba figures (ζ, ϛ) are uncertain in sense; 'Eudaimon 7 artabas' may also be a fraction. 'Keramion' is a ceramic jar used as a measure, often of wine.
