Fragment of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban area, of which only the closing lines survive. It mentions love and something white, and ends with the usual farewell in the Lord and a request that the recipient pray for the writer.
In English machine translation
[… ? lines lost …]
[…] love […]
[…] these and […]
[…] another […]
[…] a white(?) […] he […]
[…] Farewell in the Lord. Pray
for me.
The ostracon belongs to the Coptic monastic correspondence from western Thebes; the closing formula 'pray for me' is typical of letters exchanged with monks.
