A short ostracon receipt from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena recording delivery of two donkey-loads from a certain Timotheos. It is dated Mesore 18 of a fourth indiction, in the first half of the 7th century AD.
The abbreviation 'kol' after the name is unexplained (perhaps a title or second name). 'Donkey-loads' (onikai phorai) were a standard unit for carted goods, likely wine or provisions here.
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.
