A small fragment of a Coptic ostracon from Thebes, probably part of a letter or text from the monastic milieu associated with Frange. Only scattered words survive, such as 'in you', 'upon a man', 'sitting', 'afterwards' and 'the man'.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] (?) of those who […] […] in you (pl.) a […] […] upon a man […] […] sitting […] […] and after […] […] the man […] […] […]

The text is too broken to determine its content. 'Sitting' may refer to someone dwelling, possibly a monk (the preceding letters could belong to apa, 'father').

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.
