A short Coptic ostracon letter from the monk Frange to his beloved sister Eulogia and her children, ending with a brief request concerning a cloak. It comes from the Theban area.

In English machine translation

I, Frange, am writing, greeting his beloved sister Eulogia and her children. Quickly (?) send (?) the cloak (?).

Frange was an 8th-century anchorite in western Thebes whose many ostraca survive. The final line is obscure; ϩⲟⲉⲓⲧⲉ probably means a garment or cloak, but the sense of the request is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
