Description

Recto: Letter in Arabic script. Fragment (upper right corner). With text in the margins. Begins with a basmala and the phrase 'mamlūk al-ḥadra al-sāmīya' (the slave of the lofty presence). The addressee is a high official as he is referred to as the protege (ṣanīʿa) of the caliph (ʾAmīr al-Muʾminīn). Text in the margins reads partly as "بالبركة انجاز هذا ال… قالله يعين على … في خير وعافية".
