A short receipt or delivery note on an ostracon recording one donkey-load brought from (or by) Daniel the doorkeeper on Mesore 20 of the fourth indiction. It comes from the pilgrimage sanctuary of Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

† From Daniel, doorkeeper: 1 donkey-load, one only, in the month of Mesore, day 20, indiction 4 †

The donkey-load (onike phora) is a transport unit; the commodity, probably wine, is not named. The repeated 'one only' guards against later alteration of the figure.
