A short order on an ostracon from the military officer Aios, an optio, instructing Petechon, the overseer of supplies, to issue sixty rations (annona) to Zosimos. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis, from the 4th or early 5th century AD.
The annona was the ration allowance in kind issued to soldiers and officials; the optio was a junior officer responsible for supplies. The last line, perhaps a name or title ending in -leus, is damaged.
