o.frange.666 Theben
Letter to a holy father acknowledging receipt of his letter. Fragmentary Coptic letter on an ostracon from Thebes, addressed to a monastic superior styled 'your holy fatherhood'. The writer, calling himself 'my littleness', says he received the father's letter and was relieved to learn he was well; the rest of the request is lost, and the letter closes asking for prayers. 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.
