Description

Letter or petition. In Arabic script. Quite fragmentary. May mention the blessed Nile. Includes a version of the raʾy clause (fa-li-l-ḥaḍra ʿuluww al-raʾy fī dhālika). Mentions something related to the Muslims, the arrival of two ships, and a warehouse (ḥānūt). Greetings (awfā taḥiyya wa-ikrām) to various people, including the faqīh Abū l-Qāsim, and the qāḍī Abū Muḥammad. Also mentions the ṣāḥib al-ṣūr. Needs further examination.
