A short ostracon order from Aios, an optio of a military unit called the Thebes, instructing the supervisor Patechon to supply Mouses son of Pamanthes with 15 rations of bread from the annona. It was found at Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

Aios, optio of the Thebes (unit), to Patechon, epimeletes of the 8th indiction. Provide to Mouses son of Pamanthes fifteen (rations) of annona bread, total 15.
The annona was the in-kind supply of provisions to soldiers; an optio was a junior officer responsible for such distributions. "Thebes" probably refers to a unit named after or stationed from Thebes.
