A fragmentary ostracon addressed to a certain Chrestos, called lord and brother, by a group of senders including Eucharis, Mouses, Neilos and Lois, mentioning one Isidoros. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD; it has been classed as a payment order.
In English machine translation
To my lord […] brother Chrestos […]
Eucharis, Mouses, Paph[…], Neilos and Lois, contubernales (?) […]
if […] Isidoros […]
anything […]
The abbreviation kont(ou)ber[…] probably reflects Latin contubernalis, a tent-mate or companion, often used of soldiers. The catalogue classes the text as a payment order, though what survives reads like a letter opening, and the phrase 'εαν επαλλοις' is obscure.
