A fragmentary ostracon from Kysis in the Great Oasis, apparently an order addressed to a farmer concerning a quantity of artabas of grain. It is dated to a 13th indiction year, in the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] to […], farmer, greetings. […] […] […] artabas […] I pray for your health. 13th indiction.

The catalogue classes this as a payment order; only the address, the word artabas and the closing formula with the indiction year survive.
