A short order on an ostracon addressed to Chrestos, superintendent of wine, instructing him to issue one marion of wine to a man whose name begins Pa-. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis (Douch) and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
The marion was a wine measure used in the oases. The signature seems to repeat the addressee's name Chrestos, so the reading or the signer may be uncertain.
