A short Coptic letter on an ostracon from Sousanna to the monk Frange and to Moyses, asking them to pray for her because the year has been hard. It comes from the Theban region and belongs to the dossier of Frange, an 8th-century monk living in a tomb at Thebes.
In English machine translation
I, Sousanna, am writing, greeting her beloved brother, the good Frange, and my good brother Moyses, the God-lover. Do me the kindness (lit. do the love) and pray once for me; perhaps God will bring us up out of this year, which is hard; my troubles are hard (?).
Farewell in the Lord. The Holy Trinity †
The phrase rendered 'my troubles are hard' is uncertain; it may rather mean 'it is very hard' or 'hard for me'. Frange's dossier is usually dated to the 8th century AD.
