An ostracon from Abu Mena recording the delivery of two donkey-loads from a certain apa Kyrios, dated Mesore 22 of a 15th indiction. It belongs to the first half of the 7th century AD.
"Arg" after the name is an unexplained abbreviation, perhaps a further name or a title. A "donkey-load" (onike phora) was a standard transport unit, here likely of wine or another commodity.
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.
