List or table Moss. Xa,3.21

Description

List of names and amounts expressed in Coptic alphanumerals, folded down the middle vertically to form four columns of writing. Names include Burhān al-Dīn, Sharaf al-Dīn, Jamāl al-Dīn; Shamwāl, Naṣr, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz. Also mentioned: Tunis, and possibly the capitation tax (jawālī); and, repeatedly, طرطیل, an Ottoman Turkish word (from Armenian) for caterpillar — perhaps an account to do with silk manufacture? Needs further examination.
