Fragment of a Coptic letter (?) TM 220124Theben

Small fragment of a Coptic ostracon from Thebes, probably a letter, of which only scattered words survive. One phrase mentions 'the mountain' and another urges 'do not neglect'.

In English machine translation

'The mountain' (ptoou) in Theban Coptic texts usually means the desert hillside of western Thebes with its monasteries and hermitages. The Greek loanword amelein ('to neglect') appears in a prohibitive phrase typical of letters.
