An ostracon order for payment in which Horos, the diadochos, instructs Peteuris to give Psenamounis 26 annona rations of bread. It belongs to a dossier of such orders from Kysis in the Great Oasis, dated to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Horos, diadochos, to Peteuris. Give to Psenamounis twenty-six (?) annona (rations) of bread, total 26. […] I have signed (?).

The commodity (bread) and the number 26 are largely restored by analogy with other orders of the dossier. A diadochos was a deputy or substitute official; annona refers to official ration allowances.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Dossier du diadochos Hôros (ordres de paiement)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
