Fragment of an order for delivery written by an optio (a junior military officer) to Magnus, an overseer, instructing him to give jars, probably of wine or another commodity, to Petechon. It is an ostracon from Kysis in the Great Oasis, dating to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
[So-and-so], optio, to Magnus, overseer(?), […] greetings. [Give] to Petechon jars […] […]
[…]

Such orders from optiones are typical of the Douch ostraca and concern supplies issued to individuals. The sequence "nber…" in line 2 may be part of a month name such as Novembris, but it is too damaged to read with certainty.
