State document ENA 2921.4Description
Brief official letter in Arabic script, in a chancery hand. The addressee is to give the bearer Yūsuf and ʿInān(?) 100 silver pieces "for Minyat Ghamr" (the significance of "for"/bi-rasm is not clear here). 100 qinṭārs of bread (about 5 modern tons) should be sold "for it" (bi-rasmihā). (Again the significance is not clear.) The fragment was later reused for Hebrew piyyuṭ (El Melekh).
