An order for delivery written as a short letter: Victor son of Petechon instructs Victor, the lesonis (temple or administrative official), to give Myron 1 artaba and 1 mation of wheat for the rent of the 13th indiction. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis (Kharga), second half of the 4th century AD.
In English machine translation
To my beloved brother Victor, lesonis, Victor son of Petechon, greetings.
Give to the brother Myron 1 artaba 1 mation of wheat by the landowner's measure, … 1 artaba 1 mation, for the rent of the 13th indiction.
I pray for your health.
Lesonis was originally the title of an Egyptian temple administrator; here it appears to be a title or byname of the addressee. The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba.
