A short ostracon note recording donkey-loads delivered or transported through Esaias, a symmachos (courier or messenger). It comes from Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
A symmachos was a courier or armed messenger in late antique Egypt. The words following 'donkey-loads' are only partly legible and probably named the goods and the quantity, of which only a half survives.
