Description

State document, a petition regarding an iqṭāʿ and the relocation of peasants. The petitioner talks about an iqṭāʿ assigned to him in a ḍayaʿa (the place name is difficult to decipher but reads as اعمال التعظيمية) and some issue related to an army regiment called "al-Rayḥāniyya". He explains that something did not fall through, or rather, the peasants fled not out of fearing him but rather because of the threat posed by the al-Rayḥāniyya regiment. Towards the end, he requests that a rescript be issued granting him permission to relocate the peasants. Needs examination. YU. The Rayḥāniyya was an army regiment under the Fatimids and probably attributed to ʿAziz al-Dawla Rayḥān, while the Juyūshiyya were attributed to Amīr al-Juyūsh Badr al-Jamālī.
