Fragment of a Coptic ostracon from Thebes, probably a letter connected with Frange, mentioning two baskets, the writer's brother David, and baskets being filled for someone.
In English machine translation
[…]
[…] two baskets […] my brother David
[…] I filled
[…] baskets for him again
[…] Frange (?), writing
[…]
The name Frange in the closing line is largely restored. Frange was a monk whose letters on ostraca survive from western Thebes, so this is likely one of them; he is known as a maker of baskets and a copyist.
