A short ostracon receipt or delivery note from Abu Mena recording one donkey-load received from a priest named Io(annes?), described as kaballarios. It is dated 4 Thoth of a 14th indiction, in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The name is abbreviated (Io-), probably Ioannes. Kaballarios normally means 'horseman', but here it may be a surname or occupational epithet; 'onike phora' is a load carried by a donkey, probably of wine or another commodity.
