A short Coptic ostracon from Thebes accompanying a delivery of one mache of wheat. The writer tells the recipient that nothing more is owed until the next measure, which he promises to supply, God willing, and asks for his prayers.
In English machine translation
Receive the mache of wheat for yourself. God has ordained (it) in heaven and on earth. You have no other wheat with me until another mache of wheat; I will fill it for you, if God wills.
Pray for me.
The mache was a Coptic dry measure, used here for wheat. The phrase "God has ordained in heaven and on earth" is an uncertain rendering of ⲧⲱϣ.
