A short ostracon account listing sums in talents, probably entries of money reckoned in the inflated currency of the period. It comes from Kysis (Douch) in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

Account […] […] talents 1,200 talents […] talents 1,200 talents 700 talents 4,[…] talents 3,[…] talents 8,[…] talents […] talents 3,[…] talents

The heading word logos means an account or reckoning; the partly lost numerals with δ, γ, η may stand for thousands (4,000, 3,000, 8,000 talents) or for smaller figures.
