A short order on an ostracon in which Andronikos instructs the farmer Apollon to give one measure (chretes) of wine to Phibion. It dates to the 2nd year of an indiction cycle and comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis, 4th to early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Andronikos to Apollon, farmer, greetings. Give to Phibion one chretes of wine, total: 1 chretes of wine. I pray for your health. 2nd indiction.

The chretes (spelled here for keramion-type local measure, probably a variant of a wine jar unit) is a local wine measure with no exact English equivalent. The indiction year gives only a position in a 15-year tax cycle, not an absolute date.
