The surviving end of a Coptic letter on an ostracon, with its address: it was to be delivered to Ananias, sent by his (spiritual) son Frange, who calls himself "the most humble". Frange was a monk living in a hermitage in the Theban area in the 8th century.

his son
Frange,
the most humble.
"Father" and "son" here probably express a monastic relationship rather than a family one. The opening phrase "Give it to my father" is restored by the editor.
