الوصف

Recto: State document in Arabic script. Dating: No later than 1078/79 CE. Large chancery hand, wide space between the lines. 4 lines preserved here. Opens with fulsome praises for how the caliph has spread justice and comparing him to the sun and the morning star. Confirms the receipt of a decree (wa-inna l-sijilla l-muʿaẓẓama waṣala ḥawāya ʿani l-khidmati l-ṣādira) and that the writer kissed the ground (fa-qabbaltu l-arḍa ijlālan wa-iʿẓāman). Needs further examination.
