You can use the gnuplot "set label" command. In my first days with octave I
wrote a function to emulate the matlab "text" command.
It's old, ugly, but for me it worked...
Maybe I should implement some error checking and  write some
lines of help ...

function text(x, y, txt)
  textline = ["gset label \"", txt, "\" at ", num2str(x), ",", num2str(y)];
  eval(textline);
