Description

Petition-like letter in Arabic script. (Note that it is preserved backward and verso is the beginning of the letter.) Opens with a taqbīl; the addressee is given such titles as "...al-mālikī al-munʿimī al-faḍlī al-sayyidī...."; on verso the sender refers to "your ['the master's'] slave Hiba [...]"; mentions an oil lamp (sirāj al-zayt), and explains that "he" (probably Hiba) is a poor man in need of assistance.
