A short ostracon account recording delivery of donkey-loads from Kalosikos the deacon, with a running total of 9 1/2 loads. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The 'donkey-loads' (onikai phorai) were a standard transport measure, probably here of wine or similar goods; the total of 9 1/2 implies other entries on related records.
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.
