A short Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban area, in which the writer greets the recipients warmly and asks them to heed his brother Pahom and take good care of his affairs. It ends with a farewell and an invocation of the Holy Trinity.
In English machine translation
Before everything, I greet you greatly with the whole fullness of my soul.
After this, I inform you so that you will listen to my brother Pahom and do his business well. Farewell in the Lord.
Holy Trinity, pray for me. My brother Pahom.
The closing line 'Holy Trinity, pray for me' is unusual, since such requests are normally addressed to people; the final 'my brother Pahom' may be an address or note naming the bearer.
