Fragment of a Coptic letter on an ostracon from Thebes. The writer asks the recipient to write, mentions a garment, asks for something to be sent, and closes with greetings.

[...] [...] [...] [...] write to me that [...] [...] send it (?) [...] [...] about the garment (hoite) that [...] [...] another time, it became (?) [...] [...] if you want, send [...] [...] send it [...] [...] to me. I greet [you] [...] Give it [...] [...]
