A short ostracon receipt or delivery note recording two donkey-loads from Apa Kyrios on Mesore 22 of the fourth indiction. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.
"Argy" is probably an abbreviated second name or epithet of Kyrios and cannot be fully resolved. Donkey-loads (onikai phorai) were a standard unit for transported goods such as wine or other supplies.
