An ostracon account from the oasis settlement of Ain Waqfa recording the division of 14 1/2 measures of wine from the locality of Bes Poule. Half goes to the landowners, split between the writer (on behalf of his brother Makarios) and Petechon with the sons of Isokrates.

In English machine translation

11th indiction. Receipts (?) for wine of the place Bes Poule, jointly: wine, 14 1/2 chrestai (?); to the landowners 7 chrestai, of which to me on behalf of my brother Makarios 3 1/2 chrestai; remainder 3 1/2 chrestai to Petechon and the sons of Isokrates.

The abbreviation χρ( ) is expanded as chrestai (?), apparently a local wine measure; its exact capacity is unknown. The term apodeixeis, literally 'receipts' or 'statements', here introduces an account of shares.
