A short ostracon receipt or delivery note recording one donkey-load from a deacon named Io(annes?), with a further abbreviated name Marth(a?). It is dated Mesore 28 of an indiction year 14 and comes from Abu Mena in the first half of the 7th century AD.
In English machine translation
† From Io(annes?), deacon,
(of?) Marth(a?), 1 donkey-load
in the month of Mesore, 28, indiction 14
Most of the names are abbreviated: Io is probably Ioannes (John), and Marth may be a place or person such as Martha. The donkey-load (onike phora) probably refers to wine, but the commodity is not stated in the text.
