In English machine translation
[recto]
I,
Frange: do (me) the kindness, Athanael,
and send 100
copper korion (?)
[verso]
These, bring them
through Patermoute, and I will send the oil
to you. Farewell

Frange was a monk living in a Theban tomb in the early 8th century; the date is supplied from that context, as the records give only the place. The word rendered 'korion' (ⲕⲱⲣ) is uncertain and may denote a small coin or measure.
