An ostracon account of wine listing eight men, each credited with one sakkos of wine. It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum.
Sakkos literally means 'sack' and here seems to be a unit or container for wine; the catalogue describes it as an account of jars of wine. The scribe deleted the title 'head-man' (kephalaiotes) after Kopres.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Account of Wine). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
