Description

Verso: State document, Fatimid, in Arabic script. Mentions the death of one of the policemen of the vizier's ship (al-mutawaffī min al-raqqāṣīn al-mustakhdama bi-rasm markab al-wazāra al-maḥrūs). Dating: mentions Dhū l-Ḥijja 454 AH = December 1062 / January 1063 CE. The vizier in office during that time and whose ship is mentioned in the document could be Abū ʿAbdallāh al-Ḥusayn b. Sadīd al-Dawla Dhū l-Kifāyatayn (See Ibn al-Ṣayrafī: al-Ishāra ilā man nāla l-wazāra, 49). Needs examination. Reused on recto for a Judaeo-Arabic literary text (grammatical?) citing biblical verses in Hebrew. The scribe appears to be the same who reused ENA 3728.10 + ENA 3728.9 (PGPID 30834), who was a serial recycler.
