الوصف

Petition, or at least a formal letter in Arabic script. Portions of 11 lines are preserved. Many polite formulae are preserved, but unclear how much of the substance. The writer reveals his zeal to perform service "God knows the slave's intent in performing service for the ḥāḍra al-jalīla". Contains a raʾy clause "wa li-ḥaḍratihi l-jalīla raʾyyuhā l-muwaffaq". Reused on recto for Hebrew poetry. Needs further examination.
