A short ostracon memorandum recording deliveries of grain to the house of a man called Papnouthes, addressed as "brother". Two men, Psenpnouthes and Psais, are listed with amounts of 4 and 2 artabas. It comes from Trimithis in the Dakhla Oasis.

In English machine translation

To the house of the brother Papnouthes: Psenpnouthes son of Serpi(?), 4 artabas Psais son of […], 2 artabas

"Brother" may be a term of address for a fellow community member rather than a literal sibling. The father's name of Psais is illegible, and "Serpi" may be abbreviated.
