The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

An ostracon from Kysis in the Great Oasis bearing an order to an official in charge of wine to pay out wine: 40 sextarii to Sabinus, and 40 more for Makarios the Koptite and Alektor, making 80 in all. It dates to the 3rd indiction, in the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] Ap[…] […] to […], overseer (?) of wine of the 3rd indiction. Give to Sabinus son of […]rinus 40 sextarii of wine, total 40 sextarii of wine. Likewise, for Makarios the Koptite and Alektor, 40 sextarii of wine, total 80 sextarii of wine. [I have signed], the same, through me […], 3rd indiction.

The sextarius (xestes) was a liquid measure of roughly half a litre. The final total of 80 apparently counts both payments together.
