A short ostracon account listing five individuals, including a praepositus (an official), each assigned a quantity in pounds (litrai). It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Paulos (son of?) Krati[…]: 5 pounds Paulos, praepositus: 1 pound Harpokration …: 4 pounds Harpokration, (his) brother: 5 pounds Poseidon: 2 pounds.

The commodity measured in pounds (litrai) is not named. "Krati" after the first Paulos is an abbreviated or unclear name, perhaps a patronymic.
