An ostracon from Kysis in the Great Oasis with a list of personal names on one side and, on the other, an account of small quantities (matia) delivered or paid by individuals, some on behalf of others. It dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.
The mation was a small dry or liquid measure. The abbreviation read as 'centurion' is an expansion of a short form and could be doubtful; the bracketing of 'sons of Petechon' may apply only to the preceding names.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Liste de noms, compte en matia). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
