A short ostracon receipt or delivery note recording 2 donkey-loads received from (or brought by) a certain Timotheos on Mesore 18 of the fourth indiction. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation "kol" after Timotheos is unexplained and may be an epithet or occupation. "Onikai phorai" are loads carried by donkey, probably of a commodity such as wine or wood delivered to the sanctuary.
