Fragment of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban region. Only a few phrases survive, apparently about a price in money for a measure of wheat, followed by the usual closing greeting "farewell in the Lord".
In English machine translation

Farewell

The opening lines are obscure. "ϩⲁⲗⲁ" might mean "dove" or be part of another word. "ϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ" means copper or money, so the line probably gives the cost of a measure (ϩⲟ) of wheat.
