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.

In English machine translation

[…] through […] Latos […] I have received and distributed (?) 26 annonae of bread, total 26 […] …

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.
