Description

Recto: Chancery exercises. The basmala appears twice, and one line begins, "Qāla Amīr al-Muʾminīn..." Verso: State document, Fatimid. Opens with a reference to an employee of the treasury (al-mustakhdam fī bayt al-māl al-maʿmūr) and possibly the date Ṣafar 548 AH, which would be 1153 CE, and then the funds of Dīwān al-Abwāb (see tag).
