A short account on an ostracon listing quantities of wheat, barley and sesame, in artabas and matia, associated with a man named Ioannes. It mixes Greek with one line in Coptic and dates to the end of the 4th century AD, from Mounesis in the Great Oasis.
In English machine translation
Ioannes: wheat, 1 artaba, 3 matia;
barley, 4 artabas, likewise 7 matia;
likewise wheat, 1 artaba;
2 maje of wheat (?) ...
likewise wheat, 8 matia;
sesame, 2 matia.
Line 4 is in Coptic; 'maje' is a Coptic dry measure, and the reading and sense of the rest of the line are uncertain. The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba.
