A short order on an ostracon in which Paniskos instructs someone to deliver a quantity of wine, measured in mariai, to a signifer (standard-bearer) named Chrest[…]. It dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD and comes from Kysis in the Kharga Oasis.

In English machine translation

To my lord […], Paniskos, greetings. […] Chrest[…] to the signifer, of wine, mariai […] Total, of wine, mariai … I have signed […] Paniskos.

The marion was a local wine measure of the Great Oasis. The signifer was a military standard-bearer, here receiving wine probably as a soldier's ration.
