Description

Mercantile letter in Arabic script, with the format and script resembling those of a state document. Four lines are preserved. Wide line spacing. May mention keys (mafātīḥ) in the bottom line. Reused for accounts or sums in Greek/Coptic numerals, written in a column with three horizontal dividers at 90 degrees to the main text. Also reused for Hebrew piyyuṭ on recto. Appears to be cut and bound for the latter use. Needs further examination.
