State fiscal and administrative text from the Ayyubid period. Dated: 4 Rabīʿ II 595 AH = 3 February 1199 CE. Written in the form of a testimony. The document reports the execution of an order of the amir Qarāqūsh Bahāʾ al-Dīn b. ʿAbdallāh al-Asadī (d. 597/1201) to confiscate or recover a cache of 170 dinars (in gold coins) from a private house in possession of Ghānim b. ʿĪsā, one of the inhabitants of Upper Manūf. The order was carried out by the special commissioner of the amir, Fāris al-Dawla ʿAdī. The coins were placed in a purse and put under a wax seal and handed over to the commissioner. This operation is witnessed by ʿAmmār b. al-Ḥasan b. Ismaʿīl b. ʿAlī and Abū l-Maʿālī Yūsuf b. Muḥammad. At the time of this document, al-Malik al-Manṣūr, the son of al-Malik al-ʿAzīz, was titular sultan, with his uncle al-Malik al-Afḍal serving as regent. This is reflected in the two nisbas of the title al-Manṣūri and al-Afḍalī. On verso is a list of names in Arabic script that has no apparent connection with the document on recto.
