A short ostracon account listing rations of bread (psomia) distributed in pairs to four men, including Paulos the doctor. It comes from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert, late 2nd to mid 3rd century AD.
Psomia are morsels or small loaves of bread; zeugos means a pair, here apparently the unit in which loaves were counted.
