Description

State-related report on unrest all over Egypt, from the Delta (Ṭalkha and Suwayd on recto) to Upper Egypt (al-Ṣaʿīd on verso). Mentions Bedouins (al-ʿurbān and al-bādiya), a feud, a truce, the Qayṣariyya corps, “her/your slaves and soldiers,” “I sent the amīr,” Cairo and Fustat, and refugees. The sender is evidently a military official with access to plenty of information and authority to send amīrs around. Mentions three amīrs: Wajīh al-Dawla, Zakhīr al-Dawla and Yumn al-Dawla. Needs further examination.
