Request to the God-loving Moses for a kindness TM 220316Theben

Fragmentary Coptic ostracon letter from the Theban region, addressed to a 'God-loving' Moses whom the writer calls 'beloved' and 'your brotherliness'. The writer asks him to do a kindness and give something, apparently involving copper coins and a young man; the verso mentions a book or document.

In English machine translation

The reading 'ϣⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲙⲛⲧ' (100 copper coins) depends on restoration, and 'ϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ' may mean a book or a written document. Such ostraca from western Thebes typically date to the 7th-8th century AD.
