A short payment order on an ostracon from the dossier of Horos the diadochos, instructing Peteuris to give Isak thirteen and a half annona-rations of bread. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[Horos], successor (diadochos), to Peteuris. Give Isak [thirteen] and a half annona-rations of bread, [only]. I have signed.

Annona here means a ration unit of bread, as issued to soldiers or state dependants. The numeral 'thirteen' is partly restored; only its first letter and 'three and a half' survive clearly.
