Description

Fragment of a petition or report probably to the vizier (ḥaḍrat al-wizāra... al-wazīr al-ajall... ). From the upper left corner; the ends of 9 lines are preserved. In Arabic script, in a chancery hand. Blessing the power of the ruler (sulṭānhu, but possibly meaning caliph, so not clear whether Fatimid or Ayyubid). Using the "yunhī" clause typical of state petitions and reports. Reused on recto for seliḥot. MR. ASE.
