Description

Iqrār, though in some ways resembles a state document with fiscal content. In Arabic script. 16 full and 4 half lines on paper. Probably begins with "aqarra al-ṭawāshī", which would date the document to the Mamlūk period, as the usage of ṭawāshī for eunuch appears around the Mamlūk time. Fiscal hand, curvilinear lines and some words are stacked at the end. Perhaps the document was written by a lower official. Contains: basmala; al-ʿabd; and mentions "al-khassa" a financial account and "man talaba dhalika min," both towards the end of the document. Many numbers and the verb "addada" (x2) in the middle section. Also mentions an iqṭāʿ "iqṭāʿ muwakkala" in l7.
