A short ostracon account recording a delivery of one and a half donkey-loads from a man named Io(annes?), described as a barbarian, with a running total of four and a half. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The name is abbreviated as Io, probably Ioannes. 'Barbarian' (barbaros) may be an ethnic designation or a nickname; the total of 4 1/2 suggests this entry belongs to a series of deliveries.
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.
