الوصف
Official letter in Arabic script. 4 lines preserved, wide line spacing. Reused for legal documents in Judaeo-Arabic (see separate entry). Seems to be a report/petition from somebody keen to join the service of the addressee/government (wa-jarradtu raʾy fī l-khidma), and proclaiming the 'word of righteousness' from on high ([...] ʿalā l-manābir wa-nashr albāb(?) kalimat al-ṣidq bi-aʿlā l-maʾāthir), and how a group of people went to al-Shām (wa-ʿaṭṭaftu/wa-ʿaṭafat ahwāhā ḥattā ṣārū ilā bilād al-shām). Needs further examination.
