Credit instrument or private receipt DK 398Description
Order of payment (or bill?) in Arabic script. Abū l-Khayr al-ʿAṭṭār is to pay 80 dirhams out of the price of the drugs/perfume. The scribe had some trouble with the pen and ink: the script deteriorates in the fourth line, a fifth line (yadfaʿ al-shay...) was started and abandoned, and there are scribbles and smudges and several fingerprints.
