An ostracon from Abu Mena recording two donkey-loads delivered from (or by) Daniel, a doorkeeper, on Mesore 20 of the fourth indiction. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation ὀν(ικαὶ) φο(ραὶ) is understood as 'donkey-loads', a transport unit; the goods carried are not named. Such ostraca from Abu Mena probably record deliveries, perhaps of wine or water.
