Description

State document, in Arabic script. Fragmentary but from what is preserved, it is indicative that the petition is addressed to a caliph due to the taṣliya preceding the raʾy clause. Requests the issuance of a decree and the petitioner acted according to the custom "imtithālan bi-mā rasam". Verso may be the rescript or scribal practice, mentions a qāḍī. Needs further examination.
