Fragmentary Coptic letter or order from a monastic superior, styled 'our father', to Psah Hlo, telling him to come promptly to the monastery on receiving the note and not to delay. From Bawit, 8th century AD.
In English machine translation
[† Our father] writes to his son Psah Hlo (?).
[…] immediately, when you receive this note (pittakion)
[…] up to the monastery (topos) directly (?)
[…] with you, and return
[…] directly, and go your way
[…] know (?), do not detain
[…] †
Short notes of this type from 'our father' at Bawit are monastic orders or summonses. 'Psah Hlo' may be a name plus an epithet ('the old'); the reading is uncertain.
