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.
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.
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.
