A short Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban area, in which the writer asks a 'beloved brother in the Lord', probably a monk or cleric, to remember them in his prayers. The writer says they keep his words in mind day and night.
In English machine translation
I,
Tsie (?), I beseech my beloved
brother in the Lord that you
remember me in the lifting up of your holy hands. I too, I have made my brother agree (?).
I remember your words day and
night. Farewell
in the Lord.
The opening name (Tsie) and the phrase about the writer's brother are uncertain in reading and sense. 'Lifting up of your holy hands' refers to prayer.
