In English machine translation
I, Anastasia (?),
and David,
we write, greeting our beloved brother Frange.
I greet you greatly
with all my heart.
Be so kind as to pray
for me in the lifting up of your holy hands. Farewell
in the Lord.
Frange was a monk living in a tomb at western Thebes in the early 8th century AD, and many letters addressed to him survive. The first name is incomplete and its reading as Anastasia is uncertain.
