Description

Fatimid official report mentioning two messengers sent from the caliph (al-ḥaḍra al-ṭāhira) to Damascus and also mentioning the Banū Hilāl. Probable join with ENA 3907.6 identified by Alan Elbaum. The verso was reused for a distinctive Hebrew monumental inscription with a red/black border decoration. It is very similar to T-S 12.459 + T-S G1.55 + T-S G2.150 + Halper 164 (PGPID 7230) (might even be a join, though the text on recto does not match). It also resembles T-S AS 182.60 (PGPID 35892).
