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.

In English machine translation

[…] […] I have sent [it to] you complete […] Do the kindness […] you send […] […] again that they […] Farewell in the Lord.

The beginning of the letter is lost; "do the kindness" renders the common Coptic request formula "make the love".

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.
