An ostracon carrying a payment order from Isokrates, overseer of wine for the third indiction, to Sippas. It instructs him to deliver 200 xestai of wine to the standard-bearer Iakobios on behalf of Apis. 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 brother Sippas, Isokrates, overseer of wine for the 3rd indiction, greetings. Give to brother Iakobios, standard-bearer, 200 xestai of wine, total 200 xestai of wine, on behalf of brother Apis. I, the same, have signed, through me, Victor, (my) son. 3rd indiction.

A xestes is a liquid measure of roughly half a litre. The closing signature seems to say the order was signed for Isokrates by his son Victor.
