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.
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.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
