Description

Long state document with extremely large calligraphic Arabic script, probably used as a performative decree, which was later cut down and reused for Hebrew script. Roughly two words are preserved per line, the most readable phrases are "مرة الى الان وسال", "فوقع بتاريخ". Mamlūk period? Needs examination. Joins with the T-S NS fragments identified by Alan Elbaum.
