Letter via HGV-meta
Letter urging action on a matter of church treasures and a solidus. A Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban monastic community, in which the senders, calling themselves 'the least', urge the recipients in Christ's name to pursue a matter they had discussed concerning church treasures (keimelia). They report handing over one solidus to a man and ask that something be given to the priests quickly so the matter is not lost. machine translation

Before all our words, we, the least, greet your God-serving honoured paternity (?), from the small to the great, in the Lord, greetings.
After this, we beseech you in the name of our Lord Jesus the Christ that you make every effort and inquire after the matter about which we spoke words with you, concerning the matter of the treasures (keimelia). Behold, the one solidus that is with us, we have given it to the man. Now, then, quickly, and whatever God will prepare, so that the matter be not lost. Give it to the priests. Through Apa [...]nias (?), the least. Christ †
