- His servant
- In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate.
- Today — may God prolong the life of my lord the lofty shaykh
- and make his glory, loftiness and wellbeing eternal and crush those who envy him and his enemies —
- I don’t have much time, as I’m sitting in the study session of Ibn Ṣāʿ. That’s
- what’s prevented me from appearing before his exalted presence. I kiss his hand
- and request that he send (a letter) to the scribe of my lord the governor ʿAzīz al-Dawla — may God perpetuate his support —
- (asking him) to take a document from him (the governor) to the protector of Minyat al-Shammās, Bishop Binyāmīn
- of Ṭamwa — may God be his support — from the compound containing the property of two monasteries, Shahrān and Ḥulwān,
- strengthening his (the bishop’s) hand and (asking him to get) a (second) document from his master, my lord the governor ʿAzīz al-Dawla —
- may God make his well-being eternal — to the deputy of the monastery of Shahrān [strengthening]
- the hand of the aforementioned bishop, and a request (to know) who holds the property
- of the two monasteries. May God answer the pious prayers for my lord
- of this bishop and all the monks …
