A short ostracon record of donkey-loads delivered or received from two clergymen, the priest Gennadios (1 1/2 loads) and the deacon Georgios (3 loads). It comes from the pilgrimage site of Abu Mena and dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
The goods carried are not named. The abbreviation expanded as "donkey-load" (onike phora) is a unit of transport. Georgios's title of deacon is restored.
