A short ostracon receipt or delivery note recording two donkey-loads from Georgios son of Samuel. It is dated Mesore 16 of a fourth indiction and comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena, first half of the 7th century AD.
The father's name Samuel and the opening 'from' are restorations. 'Donkey-loads' (onikai phorai) were a standard measure of transport, often of wine or other goods.
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.
