Description

State document, fragment, in Arabic script written in enormous letters, probably a decree. Mentions "fourteen heads" (li-arbaʿa ʿashara raʾs) (of cattle?). Reused for several different pieces of writing in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. In calligraphic Hebrew on verso is Zechariah 6:11, and underneath are some Judaeo-Arabic phrases that sound as if they are taken from a letter. There is also writing in Hebrew script on recto that is much more difficult to read.
