Description

State document, fragmentary, in Arabic script. Mentions 20,000 irdab of wheat. A tentative reading of the first line could be "al-Malik Muʿizz al-Dawla". If the reading is correct, the document could be dated to the time of the Fatimid caliph al-ʾĀmir. For [Abū Manṣūr Maḥmūd Murhaf al-Dīn] Muʿizz al-Dawla [wa-Shujāʿuhā] Cf. T-S Ar.40.37 (PGPID 8264). Needs examination.
