A short order written on an ostracon in which Isokrates, an overseer (epimeletes), instructs Sippas, whom he addresses as father, to give 40 sextarii of wine to Horos. 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 father Sippas, Isokrates, greetings. Give to Horos forty sextarii of wine, total 40 sextarii. I, Isokrates, epimeletes, have signed.
Year 3 of the indiction
The epimeletes was a supervisor or administrator, often in charge of supplies. 'Father' is probably a respectful form of address rather than a literal family tie.
