A short Coptic letter on an ostracon from Frange, a monk living on the mountain of Jeme in western Thebes, to Andreas and his household, including Johannes, Sarra and Agape. He asks them to send his brother Isaak out to him.
In English machine translation
I, Frange,
the man, the dead one, the living one,
on the mountain of Jeme, writes greeting his beloved father
Andreas of Telanjou (?) and
Johannes and Sarra and
Agape and your whole household.
Send my brother
Isaak out to me,
that I may find him. Farewell in
the Lord.
Frange describes himself as "the dead one, the living one", a monastic formula of humility. Frange was an 8th-century anchorite in the Theban necropolis; "Telanjou" may be a place name or epithet and its sense is uncertain.
