A small fragment of a Coptic ostracon from Thebes, probably a letter, preserving only the ends of lines. Scattered words mention a matter, someone's "man", an instruction to take care, and someone giving something.

Only line endings survive, so the translation gives isolated words; the phrase "behold, take care" suggests a letter, but the genre cannot be confirmed.
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.
