A short Coptic letter on an ostracon asking a brother named Ephraim to hand over a potsherd to young Petros, son of someone whose name is lost, and to greet the deacon Andreas for the sender. It comes from the Theban region.
In English machine translation
Please be so kind, my beloved brother Ephraim, [and give] the potsherd (?) to little Petros, the son of […]. You also, greet the deacon Andreas on my behalf […].
The word rendered "potsherd" (tebllje) may refer to an ostracon, perhaps another written message. "Arí tagapē" is a standard Coptic letter formula meaning "please, be so kind".
