Coptic ostracon letter from Papnoute to his 'son' (name partly lost), asking him to come and collect items, including wool, that a man (Daniel?) had left with Papnoute. From the Theban region.
The word ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲓⲁⲁⲩ is of uncertain meaning and left untranslated; ⲥⲟⲣⲧ is understood as wool. 'Son' may be a spiritual or affectionate address, typical of monastic letters.
