A short order on an ostracon in which Theodoros instructs Famoules to give two measures of wine to the priest or elder Chrestos as payment of rent for the fifth indiction year. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.
In English machine translation
To my lord brother Famoules, Theodoros, greetings.
Give to father Chrestos two chreteis of wine, total 2 chreteis of wine, for the rent of the 5th indiction.
I pray for your health.
The chretes (here written chreteis) is a local wine measure without an exact English equivalent. "Father" may be a respectful title for a monk or cleric rather than a family relation.
