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.
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.
