The fragmentary end of a Coptic letter from the monastic settlement of Bawit, dating to the 8th century AD. Only a few words survive, mentioning something to be brought and the closing greeting.
In English machine translation
[…]
[…] … a herdsman (?) […] … […]
to him until they bring these things. I am writing them. I greet […]
The reading of the first surviving line is very uncertain; the second line contains the usual closing greeting formula using the Greek verb for 'to greet'.
