A short order on an ostracon from Apollon to a man whose name begins Phi-, instructing him to hand over 1 artaba and 6 matia of wheat described as "of iron". It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
To my lord Phi[…]
Apollon […] greetings.
Give […] of iron (?) wheat 1 artaba [and 6 matia],
total: iron (?) wheat 1 artaba, 6 matia. I have signed […]
The phrase "wheat of iron" (sitou sidērou) is unexplained; it may designate a quality or category of wheat, or wheat connected with iron payments. The mation was a small dry measure, a fraction of the artaba.
