Fragmentary Coptic ostracon letter from the monk Frange, who calls himself 'the most humble', greeting his beloved brother Abraham. A Jacob is mentioned, but the rest is lost. It comes from Thebes.
In English machine translation
I, Frange, the most humble, write and greet my beloved brother Abraham […]
Jacob […]
send (?) […]
[…]
Frange was an 8th-century anchorite in western Thebes whose many ostraca survive. 'Brother' probably means a fellow monk; the word read as 'send' is uncertain.
