State document T-S Ar.42.93Description
State document. An order from the military administration: "min Majlis al-Ḥarb al-Saʿīd." There is an ʿalāma, scribbled out, between lines 1 and 2 of the main text. "Let the one who marches(?) by this order(?) heed/obey it (li-yaʿtamid) by turning toward [...] [and ordering?] the noble [amīr?] Fakhr al-[...] and Shāwar (1162–69) and the contingent of slaves (al-khawal - mercenaries?) to hand over(?) the enemies who attacked Sandafā the night before Sunday(?) (and to send?) them to the Majlis al-Ḥarb, and to promise the deputies (nuwwāb) in the district also [...] the aforementioned. And if the local leader (al-muqaddam) and the deputies (al-nuwwāb) and the slaves (al-khawal) ward you off... let them all be brought(?) to the Majlis [al-Ḥarb]....." This document is not a join with T-S Misc.29.17 (PGPID 23453) but probably dates to the same period, and the hand and layout appear similar. Reused on verso (unless this is somehow related?) for a list of names of (Christian?) men. Needs further examination. ASE This document was identified and catalogued on PGP by Alan Elbaum in 2023. Pending publication by Paul Cobb and Alan Elbaum.
