Description

Fragment of an Arabic text glued on top of a Judaeo-Arabic document. Possibly binding remnants. The Arabic text may be astrological: it mentions specific calendar dates, "worthless people" (qawm lā khayr fīhi), and possibly cancer (sartān, unless this is sulṭān with the lām rubbed out). Needs further examination. The Judaeo-Arabic text looks legal, but practically none of it is visible.
