An order on an ostracon from Psennesis instructing the recipient to pay out 11 artabas and 3 matia of wheat belonging to the landowner from the rents in his keeping. It is dated to a 12th indiction and comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis, 4th to early 5th century AD.
"Geouchika" refers to grain belonging to the landowner (geouchos). The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba.
