Fragmentary ostracon receipt in which someone acknowledges receiving and distributing 26 rations (annonae) of bread, with a man named Latos mentioned. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
An annona here is a standard ration allowance, often for soldiers or officials. The verb 'distributed' and the number 'twenty-six' in words are editorial restorations, the latter supported by the numeral 26 in the total.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Reçu). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
