A short Christian ostracon from Abu Mena recording numbers of donkey-loads and camel-loads delivered or transported, probably of wine or other goods. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The word translated "load" (phora) is a standard transport unit, one animal's burden. The goods carried and the name after "from" are lost.
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.
