An ostracon from Abu Mena recording a delivery of two donkey-loads from Apa Kyrios, dated by month and indiction. It belongs to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The opening word 'Arg' is unexplained, possibly a person's name or a commodity. The 'donkey-loads' (onikai phorai) were a standard transport unit, and the indiction number is restored.
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.
