A short ostracon receipt or delivery note from Abu Mena recording two donkey-loads received from a certain Theodosios, dated 18 Mesore of a fourth indiction. It belongs to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation read as Aigyptiou ('Egyptian') may instead describe the type of load or measure. 'Onikai phorai' are loads carried by donkeys, probably of wine or other goods delivered to the pilgrimage site.
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.
