A short ostracon receipt recording transport of grain from the village granary of Karanis by public pack-animals, carried out by a man named Ammonianos with 18 donkeys. It dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD and probably comes from Karanis in the Arsinoite nome.
The village name Karanis is restored; the ends of all lines are lost, including the destination harbour and the commodity's quantity.
