The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

Small fragment of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from Thebes, containing only greeting formulas. The name Frange, a well-known monk and letter writer of western Thebes, is restored in the text.

In English machine translation

[…] […] … […] […] greet my beloved (?) […] […] (be)loved brother Frange […] […] I greet very much […] […] with all my heart […] […] … […] […] … one (?) […] […]

The name Frange is restored, so his involvement is uncertain. Frange's correspondence from his hermitage in western Thebes is usually dated to the AD 8th century.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
