A short ostracon recording an agreement by a man named Poule to deliver 4 chreteis (a local measure) of grape must to the landowner's share, in an 11th indiction year. It is signed by Makarios and comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis, second half of the 4th century AD.
The chrêtis is a local liquid measure attested in the Kharga Oasis. The phrase rendered 'inner release' (eso apheseos) is obscure and probably refers to a stage or place in the wine-pressing.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
