A fragmentary Coptic ostracon from Thebes, probably a letter, mentioning forgiveness and sin, a man named Andreas and the name or place Thallis. Only broken phrases survive.

The opening and end are lost, and the identification as a letter rests on the second-person address and the purpose clause. Thallis may be a personal or place name.
