A short payment order on an ostracon from Kysis in the Kharga Oasis, in which Horos, a deputy official, instructs Peteuris to issue ten units of annona bread. 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, to Peteuris. Give … ten […] of annona [bread] only. I have signed.

Annona refers to state-issued provisions, here probably bread rations; the word for bread and the unit after 'ten' are restored or lost. A diadochos was a deputy or substitute official.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
