Description

Petition in Arabic script to "the master of the viziers" (sayyid al-wuzarāʾ). The sender swears by Muḥammad and his family but is himself a Jew or Christian (min ahl kitāb Allāh) who has poor vision (ḍaʿīf al-baṣar). Possibly an indirect join with T-S AS 178.193 (or these are two different petitions in the hand of the same scribe).
