An order on an ostracon from Chrestos, an overseer, instructing Paniskos to pay out 60 xestai of wine to Papnouthes, a standard-bearer. It was written at Kysis in the Great Oasis in the 4th or early 5th century AD, in a 7th indiction year.
In English machine translation
To my lord brother Paniskos, Chrestos, greetings. Give to Papnouthes the standard-bearer 60 xestai of wine, total 60 xestai. I, Chrestos, overseer, have signed. 7th indiction.
The signifer (standard-bearer) was a military rank, so the wine was probably a supply for soldiers. A xestes was a small liquid measure of roughly half a litre.
