Short ostracon receipt or record of donkey-loads delivered by two men, Theodosios the Egyptian and the deacon Kalosikos, dated Mesore 18 of a fourth indiction. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The 'donkey-load' (onike phora) was a standard transport unit; the commodity carried, perhaps wine, is not named. Amounts are repeated in words after the figures, as was usual in such receipts.
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.
