Description

Recto: Fragment of a petition (?), 3 fragmentary lines, containing part of an inhāʾ section (al-mamlūk yunhī anna) in which reference is made to the petitioner's unfortunate condition, involving the capitation tax (al-jawālī) and the tax collector (al-ḥāshir). Preceding the narrative is the phrase wa yamḥaq al-ribā which clearly alludes to Quran 2:276 ("God blots out usury") suggesting a possible reason for the petitioner's misfortune.
