A short ostracon account of wheat quantities, given in artabas and matia and measured by both the public measure and the landowner's measure. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

And this is the […] of wheat by the public measure, 9 artabas, […] matia of wheat by the landowner's measure, 12 artabas, 3 1/2 matia […] 5 artabas, 7 matia

The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The 'geouchic' measure was the landowner's own measure, as opposed to the official public one.
