A short ostracon receipt or delivery note recording one donkey-load brought by Apollos son of Pitos on Mesore 19 of a fourth indiction year. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The "donkey-load" (onike phora) was a standard transport unit; the commodity carried, probably wine or another supply, is not named. The name Pitos may also be read as a patronymic or a place of origin.
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.
