Fragment of an ostracon receipt from Abu Mena recording the delivery of a single donkey-load of some commodity, dated to the month of Mesore (restored) in a fourth indiction year. It belongs to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation ὀν(ικὴ) φο(ρὰ) means a 'donkey-load', a transport unit; the commodity, probably wine, is lost. The month name is restored by the editor and the day survives only as a final digit 6.
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.
