Letters of Frange requesting palm fibre and expressing condolence. Two Coptic letters on an ostracon from the monk Frange in the Theban area. On one side he asks Isaak and Anna to send him palm fibre quickly, through Samuel or Kyrikos; on the other, with Moses, he offers condolence to Samuel and Sephora on the death of Sephora's niece and urges Samuel to come quickly with fibre. machine translation

[recto]
Jesus Christ, have mercy on us in love. Amen.
I, Frange, write and greet
my beloved good father Isaak
and my sister who is dear to me as God (?),
Anna. I greet also your children. Do
the kindness, my sister Anna, and now
throw (?) a ball (?) of (palm-)fibre to Samuel
and send it to me quickly, so that I may find it,
for I have warped (?) it. If you do not send it
to me quickly, with a mixture (?) of fibre, give a mixture (?) of fibre
to Kyrikos and he will bring it
to me, so that I may plant (?).
For it is needed.
Farewell in
the Lord.
[verso]
I, Frange, and Moses
write and greet their good brothers Samuel and Sephora.
We have heard that the daughter of Krsene, the sister of Sephora, has died.
We have taken great grief (?). Now,
Samuel, leave everything
behind you and take a mixture (?) of fibre and come to us quickly, quickly, for it is needed. Farewell
in the Lord.

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.
