In English machine translation
[recto]
Frange and Moses, writing and greeting their beloved brother, our dear Johannes and his sons. Farewell in the Lord.
[verso]
Frange and Moses, writing and greeting their dear sister Taham (?): Be so kind as to send a little dye (?) for colouring (?) for us, and true (?) dye. Farewell in the Lord.
The word ϫⲏϭ is taken as dye or pigment, and the phrase ⲉⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ is uncertain, possibly referring to colouring or to grapes. Frange was an 8th-century anchorite in western Thebes known from many ostraca.
