An order for delivery written on an ostracon, in which Apis instructs Phamoules to give Kaumout three measures of wine as payment of rent for the eighth indiction year. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Kharga Oasis and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.
The word rendered "chreis" (χρητεις) is an unclear local wine measure or vessel term. "Brother" may be a courtesy title rather than a family relationship.
