An ostracon account of bread rations (psomia, small loaves) distributed to individuals, including a beneficiarius, and to the stable. It comes from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert and dates to the late 2nd to mid 3rd century AD.

Psomia are small pieces or loaves of bread, here often counted in pairs; 'clean' probably means bread of pure or fine flour. A beneficiarius was a soldier detached for special duties.
