End of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban region, in which the writer asks the recipient, probably a monk or cleric, to remember him lovingly in his holy prayers, closing with a farewell in the Lord and an invocation of Jesus.
Only the closing formulas survive; the beginning and body of the letter are lost. The final line may be read as a separate prayer formula, "Jesus, have mercy on us."
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.
