A short ostracon account listing amounts of grain, in artabas and matia, credited to three individuals, with a total, issued through a certain Latos. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.
The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The listed figures do not obviously add up to the stated total, possibly because of the lost name and readings in line 3.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Comptes). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
