Description

Recto: Petition. The endings of 5 lines are preserved, with a raʾy clause at the bottom. The nature of the request is unclear, but requests the issuance of a decree "bi-khurūj al-tawqīʿ". Refers to 'the aforementioned city.' Between the lines on recto and on verso there are jottings and prayers in Arabic script. Reused for a prayer in Arabic script on verso which continues on recto and is interspersed between the petition.
