In English machine translation
Frange, writing to his brother Theodoros:
Do me the kindness of coming at once (?) so that I may find you. Farewell in the Lord.
Frange was an 8th-century anchorite in western Thebes whose ostraca survive in numbers. The phrase rendered 'at once' (ⲛⲥⲁⲩⲛⲉ) is uncertain; it may mean 'at the proper time' or similar.
