In PGP since 2021Description
Recto: Fatimid state document. Maybe a petition or report. In Arabic script. 5 lines are preserved. Refers to somebody who rejects benefaction (munākarat al-naʿīm) and who is addicted to drink and childish games (muʿāqarat al-sharāb... wa-liʿāb al-shabāb). Someone or somebody (presumably an act of the addressee or the addressee himself) was "like happiness after sickness and light after darkness" to the sender. "If adab were a body, you/he would be its soul; if an eye its sun."
