A short Coptic letter, probably on an ostracon, asking a monastic superior ("your fatherhood") to give one oipe of a dry commodity to Zacharias of the Koptos district, the bearer, and to record it. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD and comes from the Theban west bank (Djeme).
In English machine translation
Zacharias, the man of the district of Koptos: I have sent him to your fatherhood. Give one oipe of lentils (?) to him from the lentils (?) that are on the ground, and write them to your account. Farewell. †
The commodity word ⲛⲟⲣⲁⲝ is obscure; "lentils" is only a guess, and "on the ground" may mean stored on the threshing floor. The oipe is a dry measure.
