A fragmentary ostracon order from the optio Pachmounis to an overseer (probably Peteuris), instructing him to issue bread from the annona (military ration supply) to a man whose name begins Herakl-. It belongs to a dossier of such orders from Kysis in the Kharga Oasis, dating to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
In English machine translation

[…]
An optio was a junior military officer responsible here for distributing rations; the annona was the state supply of provisions to soldiers. The overseer's name and the word 'bread' are restored from parallel orders in the same dossier.
