A short order on an ostracon in which Makaria instructs Victor, an overseer, to issue ten rations (annonae) of bread to Makarios, dated Pachon 20. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Makaria to Victor, overseer. Give to Makarios 10 annonae of bread only. Total: 10 annonae of bread only. I have signed. Pachon 20.

The annona was a standard ration allowance; most of the names and the figure in the first line are restored from the parallel total line and similar ostraca.
