A short Coptic letter on an ostracon from Theban, in which a woman named Tpianthamena writes to Frange, whom she calls her beloved father, and to Moses. She mentions people who spoke with her and gave her something, and offers to come to him before she is driven out of the house.
In English machine translation
† I, Tpianthamena, write and greet my beloved father Frange, and Moses.
Since you sent in (word), you have found my dwelling (?). God knows, they spoke with me, they gave me [...] ... [...] a pot (?). If you wish to come out of the house, I will come to you before they drive me out.
† Farewell in [the Lord].
Frange was a monk living in a hermitage at Thebes in the 8th century; 'father' is likely a monastic form of address. Several phrases are difficult and the translation of the middle lines is uncertain.
