A short order on an ostracon from Demetris, an optio (junior military officer), to Chrestos, the official in charge of supplies, to issue five bread rations to Senyris. It comes from Kysis in the Kharga Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

The annona was a ration allowance issued to soldiers and officials. The line "Rasegee, son" is obscure and may name the recipient's father or a further beneficiary.
