Description
State correspondence, probably a petition but any petition-related formula is missing. Five lines are preserved, and possibly a copy of a sixth line. Almost all the preserved text is flattery and expressions of loyalty and blessings. Notably, it refers to "continuing in (state) service (fī l-khidma) in Damascus," likely in reference to the sender. On verso there is Hebrew piyyuṭ in the hands of ʿEli b. ʿAmram he-Ḥaver (as per FGP).
