In English machine translation
I, Frange, am writing to greet my beloved brother Ioannes.
Please, if God ordains it, send me the two sieves (?), for I need them. Please remember me in your holy prayers, for I am worthless.
Frange was a monk living in a hermitage in western Thebes, probably in the 8th century. The word read here as 'sieves' (ⲓⲁⲁⲩ) is uncertain.
