A short payment order on an ostracon from Kysis in the Great (Kharga) Oasis, in which Horos, a deputy official, instructs Peteuris to issue eight bread rations to Neilos. It belongs to a dossier of such orders issued by Horos in the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Horos, deputy (diadochos), to Peteuris. Give to Neilos eight rations of bread, 8 only. I have signed.

The word for bread rations (annona) is partly restored. The diadochos was a deputy or substitute official; "only" (monas) is a standard safeguard against alteration of the amount.
