A short Coptic letter from the monk Frange to his spiritual 'father' Iezekiel concerning bread that Iezekiel took for them, asking him not to send it back and requesting his prayers. It dates to the late 7th or early 8th century AD and comes from the Theban area.
In English machine translation
I,
Frange, am writing to my father
Iezekiel: You have taken bread for us(?).
Do not send
it back.
Pray for me.
Farewell in
the Lord […]
Frange was a monk and scribe living in a tomb in western Thebes; 'father' here is probably a monastic form of address rather than a family term. The phrase about the bread is uncertain in sense.
