The official in question could be al-Amīr al-Muẓaffar Sayf al-Mulk Maʿadd l-Mulk Layth al-Dawla ʿAlī b. Ishāq b. al-Sallār, who was the governor of Alexandria during the time of al- Ẓāfir, hence this document could be dated to that period, i.e., post 545/1150. (See al-Maqrīzī, al-ittiʿāz, pg. 196).

A late Fatimid report The verso is probably annotations or reply to the report mentioning the caliphal ʿalāma: al-ʿalāmaal-sharīfa al-nabawiyya. The main content of the petition seems to be about an ʿimāra (wa-yaḥtāṭ al-ʿimāra), the sender then seems to mention something about the cost/accounts (wa-yākhudh al-mawla bi-dafʿ al-ḥisābāt). The document ends with the raʾy clause: "al-ʾārā al-ʿāliyya zādahā allahu sharafan wa-yanfaʿu bihi".

Letter/report from a patron of Abū Zikrī al-Ḥakīm and his father (Eliyyahu the Judge) to a superior (addressed as "al-majlis"). […] Dating: 1218–27 CE, based on the mention of both al-Malik al-Kāmil (the Ayyubid sultan 1218–38) and al-Malik al-Muʿaẓẓam (the Ayyubid ruler of Damascus, d. 1227). This is a letter of patronage/protection/recommendation, attesting that Abū Zikrī and Eliyyahu are the loyal servants of the sender and must be assisted and protected in their purposes and must not be opposed by the dīwān of Alexandria (dīwān al-thaghr al-maḥrūs). In fact, they have already obtained orders from the dīwāns of al-Kāmil (amr al-dawāwīn al-Kāmiliyya) and royal rescripts (al-tawāqīʿ al-kāmiliyya) to this effect.
