A small fragment of a Coptic text, probably a letter, from the monastery of Bawit in the Hermopolite nome, dating to the 7th or 8th century AD. Only scattered phrases survive, including an appeal to the will of God and a mention of a gold solidus on the back.
The solidus (holokottinos) was the standard Byzantine gold coin. The readings on the recto are very uncertain and the translation of the first lines is tentative.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Document non identifié). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
