A short order on an ostracon from Antonios to Latos, an overseer (epimeletes), instructing him to issue three annona rations of bread to Ammon and Eugenios. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Antonios […] to Latos, overseer. Provide to Ammon and to Eugenios (his?) son 3 annona-rations of bread, total 3 rations […]

Annona here means a fixed ration allowance, typically issued to soldiers or officials. The relationship expressed by 'son' is uncertain: it may mean Eugenios is Ammon's son.
