End of a short letter or order on an ostracon concerning delivery of four jars of wine to Paniskos as rent for a 14th indiction year. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis (Kharga) and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.
The word χρητεις is a garbled or unusual term, apparently a wine-jar measure (perhaps for keramia); its exact reading is uncertain. Phoros here means rent paid in kind.
