An order on an ostracon from Demetris, an optio (junior army officer), instructing Chrestos, a supply official (epimeletes), to issue thirty units of annona bread. It was written at Kysis in the Great Oasis on Hathyr 10, in the 4th or early 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
Demetris, optio, to Chrestos, epimeletes. Provide […] thirty (loaves?) of bread of the annona, total 30 only.
Rasegeses, son.
Hathyr 10.
Annona here means the military food ration supplied as tax in kind. The line naming Rasegeses as 'son' is grammatically odd and may name the recipient or the bearer of the order.
