A fragmentary ostracon account of oil for a 7th indiction year, recording quantities in local sextarii, part of which went to the landowners. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great (Kharga) Oasis and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] 7th indiction. Account of oil […] […] […] to the landowners 7 […] […] [verso] Account of oil […] indiction, from 7 local sextarii: of which the half […] to the landowners 4 3/4 sextarii […] for 5 hours (?) […] 3 1/2

The 'local sextarius' (xestes topikos) was a regional measure of liquid capacity whose exact size is uncertain. Several lines are largely illegible, so the breakdown of quantities is unclear.

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