Description

Tax receipt issued to the khuzzān of the Fayyūm tax districts against revenue delivered by Abū l-Ḥasan b. Wahb. Dated: 7 (?) [month not preserved] 404. Written by Mīkhāʾīl b. ʿAbd al-Masīḥ the jahbadh and registered by the Dīwān al-ʿAmal and the Dīwān al-Ishrāf. Payment made under the supervision of two officials: (1) under the supervision of the auspicious, rightly guided qāḍī Thiqat al-Mulk Makīn al-Dawla wa-Amīnuhā, protégé of the Commander of the Faithful, Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Nahār; and (2) under the tax accounting of Abū l-Sarī Thiyudur b. Bamūn. The join is almost certain, but the join is not continuous. An argument in favor of it is that the versos of both fragments contain accounts bearing the same set of dates.
