The ostracon from the monastery at Dra Abu'l Naga (north of Deir el-Bahari) shows a fragmentary letter to a deacon, from a monk named Apa Dios, whether he is the later saint of $E02472 remains only a possibility.

ⲧⲁⲁⲥ <ⲙ>ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲕ(ⲟⲛⲟⲥ)
ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲁⲡⲁ ⲇⲓⲟⲥ
ⲡⲓⲉⲗⲁⲭ(ⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ)
'Give it to the deacon, from Apa Dios, the least.'
