A short ostracon account listing quantities in matia and litras against personal names, beginning with the month Pachon. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Pachon: 13 matia Pamenesis: 4 litras Sanis: 6 litras Makaris Psanpaesos

The matia (mation) was a small dry measure and the litra a unit of weight (pound). The last two names have no quantities recorded, and "Pach" may be read as the month Pachon or as the start of a name.
