An ostracon account of wheat issued for some purpose, listing recipients including Pistos, a princeps, and Isak, a tessellarius, each receiving a mation of wheat. It comes from Kysis in the Great (Kharga) Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Account of wheat […] given for the use of […] Pistos, princeps […] Agathemeros […] Isak, tessellarius, … matia […] Probinos, 1 mation Psentesauros, 1 mation Sarapion, 1 mation Dios Ptes, 1 mation

The mation is a small dry measure; princeps and tessellarius are military ranks, suggesting the wheat went to a garrison. Ends of the first lines are lost.
