Letter from Frange to Kyrikos ordering a jar from the potter TM 140973Theben

[recto] The most humble Frange, writing and greeting his beloved, God-loving father Kyrikos. After this, I greet and salute the sweetness of my holy, God-loving fathers Apa Isidoros and his son, my brother Abraham. Do the great charity of praying for me, so that God may give me rest (?) in this sea of the world which is full of every suffering and grief of every heart. Farewell in the Lord. [verso] My father Kyrikos: since I sent you word about an ampulla, now do not look for an ampulla. Tell the potter to make (?) a kothon for me that holds 3 xestai, and tell him to fire (?) it well for me, and tell him to make its base thick, and to put two handles on it, set firmly (?), well; and do it for God's sake, and also for the sake of my humility. And let him make the large kothon for you, and send it to me quickly, quickly, for the need is very, very great. Tell the potter to make its base wide.
