Fragmentary Coptic ostracon from the Theban region, probably a letter, mentioning instruction, words, the mountain of Jeme, God, a vessel and a nummus coin. Only scattered phrases survive.

In English machine translation

[…] […] the instruction (?) […] […] my words after […] […] (?) the monk (?) of the mountain [of Jeme] […] as a faithful one […] according to God […] saying, 'Send' […] a vessel […] a nummus […] the dead (?) […] him these things […]

The restoration 'mountain of Jeme' (the Theban west bank) is the editor's; a nummus was a small copper coin of late antiquity.'

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.
