An ostracon receipt or delivery note from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena recording two donkey-loads received from a man whose name begins Eulog- (perhaps Eulogios), dated Mesore 20 of a fourth indiction. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
"Donkey-loads" (onikai phorai) was a standard unit for goods carried by pack animal, often wine or other produce at Abu Mena. The sender's name is only partly legible.
