An order on an ostracon from Chrestos, distributor of wine for the first indiction, instructing Papollon to deliver 200 sextarii of wine to Haryotes. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
The sextarius (xestes) was a liquid measure of roughly half a litre. The signature was written on Chrestos' behalf by his son Olbios.
