A short ostracon receipt or delivery note recording two donkey-loads brought by Theodoros son of Menas, on Mesore 24 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 abbreviation Πια(μὲ) is read as a place name or epithet and its expansion is uncertain. 'Donkey-loads' (onikai phorai) were a standard transport measure, probably here of wine or other goods delivered to the sanctuary.
