A short ostracon receipt from Abu Mena recording the delivery of two donkey-loads from Theodosios the Egyptian on Mesore 18 of the 4th indiction. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
"Donkey-loads" (onikai phorai) is a standard transport unit in the Abu Mena ostraca, probably of wine or other goods delivered to the pilgrimage centre. "Aigyptios" here may be an epithet or a surname rather than a statement of origin.
