Ostracon receipt from the granary of Karanis recording that Ouenaphris son of Aionis delivered four donkey-loads of wheat, from the harvest of regnal years 18 and 6, at the harbour of Leukogion. It is dated Mecheir 3, probably 28 January 311.
The double regnal year (18 and 6) points to joint reigns of the early 4th century, hence the tentative date of 311. 'Transferred' (metebalen) refers to unloading grain from donkeys onto boats at the river harbour.
