An ostracon from Abu Mena recording the delivery of a single donkey-load from apa John, dated to Mesore of a fourth indiction year. It belongs to a group of short delivery receipts from the pilgrimage centre of Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.
"Donkey-load" renders the abbreviated onike phora, a standard unit of transport; the commodity carried (probably wine or another liquid) is not stated. The day of the month is illegible.
