A short ostracon receipt recording the delivery of ten baskets (kophinoi) on behalf of Makarios through the agency of Psennesis, for the summum of a cavalry unit (ala). It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.
In English machine translation
On behalf of Makarios,
through Psennesis,
for the summum of the ala … :
10 baskets.
I have signed.
The summum was a military contribution or levy delivered to a unit, here an ala (cavalry unit) whose name or number is not legible. The baskets (kophinoi) were probably a measure of produce rather than empty containers.
