Description

Recto: Otoman-era legal document in Persian, probably dealing with the sale (فروخت = "he/she sold" in l. 5) of a plot of land (قطعه زمین). Refers to Khwāja ʿAbdallāh, agents and powers of attorney, expressions of free will (برضا ورغبت خود), and Khwāja Sulṭān [...] b. Khwāja ʿAlī b. Khwāja Ḥaydar. Mentions 600 dīnārs. Dated 26 Rabīʿ II; the year is torn away. Verso: a different Arabic-script document, difficult to read. Unclear if related to recto. There is a seal impression here. Needs further examination.
