An ostracon account of grain from Kysis in the Great (Kharga) Oasis, dating to the 4th or early 5th century AD. From a total of 26 artabas it deducts seed, a gratuity, rent for a place called Pmoun Tae and another charge, leaving a remainder; a further entry records 3 artabas paid to Isokrates for the rent of Pmoun Tae.
The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The abbreviated entry 'hydrok exagog' is unclear and may refer to a water-related charge or export.
