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 account from Abu Mena recording donkey-loads delivered from a deacon named Io(annes?). One entry is for Marth(a?), 1 load, and the total is 12 loads. It is dated Mesore 28 of an indiction year, in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The names are abbreviated, so Ioannes and Martha are only probable expansions. The total of 12 loads implies that entries are missing or were recorded elsewhere, and the indiction number 14 is restored.
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.
