A small fragment of a Coptic ostracon from Thebes, probably a letter, preserving only scattered words. Phrases such as "I exhorted" and "do not be afraid" survive.

[…] […] my (?) […] […] … brother (?) Pau[…] […] I exhorted (?) […] do not be afraid […] […] his (?) […] your […] […] a man like […] […] […] […] I (?) […] […] […]

The Greek loanword parakalein ("to exhort, request") appears in the Coptic text. The reading "brother Pau[...]" is uncertain.
