A short delivery note on an ostracon recording 2 donkey-loads brought by or from Zacharias on Mesore 23 of an unspecified indiction year. It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The name Zacharias is largely restored, and the indiction number is illegible. "Donkey-loads" (onikai phorai) was a standard unit of transport, probably here for wine or other goods delivered to the shrine.
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.
