Description

Recto: Deed of acknowledgment (iqrār). In Arabic script. The person making the acknowledgment is ʿAntar al-ustādh al-Zukhrī(?) (a eunuch and/or government officer). He is 'yellow-skinned' (aṣfar al-lawn), has a wide forehead (wāḍiḥ al-jabha), and a pointed nose (aqnā al-ʾanf). Dated: 515 AH = 1121/22 CE. His job description may appear at the end of l. 3: wa-huwa [...] ʿalā [...] [...] al-rīf. He seems to owe a sum of money or quantity of wheat to Abū l-Faraj b. Yūsuf al-Isrāʾīlī. Needs further examination.
