Description

Small fragment from the top of a mysterious document in Arabic script. At the top there is the glyph and a basmala. Then, "al-mamlūka ukhtuhā... Umm Yaʿqūb." Then: "to Saʿīda" (which appears to have another "Umm" written after it)? This is probably a letter, because it continues "wa-siwāhu innanī arhantu...." and the phrase "allāh allāh" appears in the margin (a common phrase that appears almost exclusively in letters).
