A short Coptic order from the monastic superior ("our father") at Bawit to Simothe, telling him to issue 8 measures of wine to Petra son of Phamshe. A Greek docket repeats the amount and names Viktor as the scribe. It dates to the 8th century AD.
In English machine translation
† Our father, it is he who writes to his son Simothe (Timothy?): Give 8 jars (?) of wine to Petra son of Phamshe (?) †
Wine […] 8, eight. I, Viktor, wrote. […] 18, indiction […]
"Our father" is the standard way these Bawit orders refer to the head of the monastery. The Coptic word for the wine measure ("nshei") is not certainly understood, and the Greek docket is partly illegible.
