A short order on an ostracon in which Chrestos, an overseer (epimeletes) for the 7th indiction, instructs Paniskos to give 20 xestai of wine to Pachoumis. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
To my lord brother Paniskos,
Chrestos, epimeletes of the 7th indiction.
Give to Pachoumis twenty xestai of wine, total 20 xestai of wine.
I, the same Chrestos, have signed.
An epimeletes was an official charged with overseeing the collection or supply of goods; a xestes is a liquid measure of roughly half a litre. The recipient's name is written in the nominative where the dative would be expected.
