Receipt for transport of grain from Karanis to the harbour of Kerke TM 42315probably Karanis, Herakleidou meris, Arsinoite nome, province of Egypt(Early) IVth century A.D.

An ostracon receipt recording that Heron son of Heron transferred grain from the granary of Karanis to the harbour of Kerke, carried by the donkey-driver Aion on 5 donkeys. It dates to the early 4th century AD and was probably found at Karanis in the Fayum.

In English machine translation

Kerke was a river harbour on the Nile where grain from the Fayum villages was loaded for shipment. The regnal years are illegible, so the date rests on the handwriting and the type of document.
