The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
A short ostracon receipt or delivery note from Abu Mena recording 2 donkey-loads from a deacon, probably named Ioannes, apparently delivered by or to someone called Marth(a?). It is dated Mesore 28 of an indiction year 14, in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The names are abbreviated: "Io" is most likely Ioannes, and "Marth" may be Martha or a related name. Its role in the text is unclear. "Onikai phorai" means loads carried by donkey, a common transport unit.
