Letter of a monk to his 'father' about a quarrel and shame. A fragmentary Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban area, written by a monk to a man he addresses as 'my father'. The writer complains of a dispute involving an item that was brought to him, of harsh words he received, and of shame, swears by his monastic habit, and asks the addressee to make peace before Easter; a Phoibammon is mentioned. machine translation

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
