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 →
Opening of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from Thebes, in which the humble writer greets a holy brother and all the brothers with him and asks for their prayers. Only the formulaic greeting survives.
In English machine translation
First of all, before my words, I, [the most humble], greet [my] holy [brother, and] I greet all the brothers who are with you. [Pray] for me.
Much of the greeting formula is restored from standard Theban monastic letter phrasing.
