Recto

حضر الى مكارم بن اسحق بن مكارم اليهودى المتطبب
ناصر بن جبريل وصحبته ابنته لصلبه المسماة ستيت
وفى عينها اليسرى كمنة وسأل الطبيب
المذكور مزاولة عينها بسكين المرموظ
فان من الله تعالى بالنظر كان تلطفه در [همین]
وان كان خلافه فتقضاه وقدره والطـ[ـبيب]
برى من ذلك

Recto - witness

اشهدني بذلك
كتبه عبد القوى بن عبد المعطى
ابن هلال الانصاري
