A short ostracon listing numbers of donkeys from three Fayum villages, Theoxenis, Kerkeusiris and Alexandrou (Nesos), addressed or assigned to a man named Didas son of Heras. It dates to the 3rd century AD.
Theoxenis, Kerkeusiris and Alexandrou Nesos are villages of the Arsinoite nome. The donkeys were probably supplied for transport service.
