A short receipt on an ostracon recording the delivery of two donkey-loads by Theodosios the Egyptian on Mesore 18 of a fourth indiction year. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation read as onikai phorai means loads carried by donkey; the goods delivered are not named, though such receipts at Abu Mena often concern wine or other supplies. 'Aigyptios' may mark the man as coming from the Egyptian countryside rather than being a personal epithet.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
