In English machine translation
I, Frange, am writing and greeting his beloved brother Azarias and all his people.
And I greet my beloved brother […] … of my […] Enoch (?).
Frange was an 8th-century monk living in a tomb in western Thebes, known from a large archive of ostraca. "Brother" here is probably a monastic form of address rather than a family tie; the final name is only partly preserved.
