Fragment of the end of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from Thebes, in which the writer asks for something, apparently bandages, saying the need is very great, and closes with a farewell in the Lord.

bandages (?) [because] the need is very great.
Farewell
in the Lord.
The word read as κειρία (keiria) is taken here as a form of Greek keiria, 'bandage' or 'girth strap'; its exact sense is uncertain. The beginning of the letter is lost.
