An order for delivery addressed to Poulis, a farmer, instructing him to give one chrete (a measure or jar) of wine to a 'brother' whose name is partly lost. It dates to the 15th indiction, in the second half of the 4th century AD, from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis.
The chrete is a local wine measure or container attested in the Oasis ostraca, with no exact English equivalent. The sender's name and the recipient's name are largely lost.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ordres de livraison). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
