Fragment of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban region, in which the writer mentions having sent something complete to the addressee and asks a favour. It closes with the usual Christian farewell.
The beginning of the letter is lost; "do the kindness" renders the common Coptic request formula "make the love".
