A short ostracon receipt or delivery note from Abu Mena recording two donkey loads from Georgios son of Samuel, dated Mesore 16 of a fourth indiction. It belongs to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The name Samuel, the day and the indiction number are largely restored by analogy with similar ostraca from the same site. 'Donkey loads' renders onikai phorai, standard units of transport.
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.
