An ostracon from Abu Mena recording deliveries counted in donkey-loads from a subdeacon named Amon and from a certain Ioannes, in the month of Thoth of a 15th indiction. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation read as onikai phorai means loads carried by donkey, a unit of transport; the commodity delivered is not named. The second man's title or patronymic after Ioannes is illegible.
