A short Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban region in which the writer asks a holy father, probably a monk, to kindly send a little of something if he has it, and requests his prayers.
In English machine translation
Do the kindness, if you have (some), send me a little.
Pray for us.
By the love (of God), my holy father,
farewell in the Lord.
The item requested is not named; the phrase "send me a little" leaves the object implied. Such letters belong to the monastic correspondence of western Thebes.
