A short account on an ostracon listing provisions: bread, a young goat, oil, fodder, chaff and barley, apparently linked to a place or person named Tanasi. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis (Kharga) and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

Tanasi(s?) Wine (?) […] Little loaves […] Buns (?) 21 Kid 1 Oil, 1 sextarius Fodder […] Chaff […] Barley, 1 artaba

The expansions of several abbreviated items (such as 'buns' and the reading of the second line as wine) are uncertain. Tanasi may be a personal name or a place name.
