Fragmentary Coptic letter on an ostracon from the Theban region, opening with greetings to a fellow monk or brother. The senders inform the addressee, asking him to send something, and mention trimma (a pounded grain product), the son of Paulos and a man called Psate. It closes with a farewell in the Lord.
