In English machine translation
† From Menas, Pentapolite: 2 donkey-loads, Epagomenal day 1, indiction 14.
'Pentapolite' may describe Menas as a man from the Libyan Pentapolis (Cyrenaica) rather than a place of origin of the goods. 'Onikai phorai' are loads carried by donkeys, a common unit in Abu Mena ostraca, probably of wine or other supplies.
