Primary language
Arabic
Official report addressed to a Fatimid vizier. The addressee's titles (sayyid al-wuzarāʾ tāj al-aṣfiyāʾ qāḍī l-quḍāt dāʿī [l-duʿāt ʿalam al-majd] khalīl amīr al-muʾminīn wa-khāliṣatuhū) are attested by al-Maqrīzī as titles of the vizier al-Yāzūrī (r. 1050–58 CE) (see https://shamela.ws/book/176/580 and see al-Imad, The Fatimid Vizierate, 181–83). […] Given that al-Muʾayyad appears in this document together with a vizier who is most likely al-Yāzūrī in the context of official documents confirming an appointment in Damascus, it is probably not coincidental that his assumption of power coincided with al-Yāzūrī's assumption of power as vizier in Cairo in Muḥarram 442 AH = May/June 1050 CE.

Judaeo-Arabic
Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic and eastern Arabic numerals on verso with occasional notes indicating that specific quantities are in different types of coinage. For example, the silver kuruş ("גרש") is attached to certain figures and others bear the designation of "תקיל/ثقيل" indicating coinage of a weight higher than current standards– which helps date this fragment to no earlier than 1690 CE when the earliest variants of the Ottoman kuruş may have been produced (Pamuk, A Monetary History of the Ottoman Empire, 160).

There is some ambiguity as the ḥarf aḥmar or ḥarf dhahab aḥmar was a gold coin, presumed to be a name for the ashrafī and sometimes the sequin, whereas plain "ḥarf" was a name for a copper coin of low value.

The occurrence of few sums of money indicates a fiscal account or commercial transaction - 'min al-fiḍḍat al-anṣāf al-judūd', which points to the Mamlūkī silver 'half' coin of al-Muʾayyad Shaykh and suggests that this letter is dated no earlier than 1415 CE, as this was the year when the ruler imposed the 'half' as the basic silver coin.

Inferred date
1703–1850 CE
Accounts in Judeo-Arabic that mention a variety of coinage types such as gold maḥbūb (specifically Egyptian mintage "מצרי"), bundūqī (Venetian ducat), fındıklı, and on the far left column the "ق" symbol for silver kuruş appears. Each of the Ottoman forms of coinage are helpful for dating the fragment to the eighteenth or early nineteenth century (for example the kuruş was minted perhaps as early as 1690 but did not begin to appear in wide circulation until 1703CE: Pamuk, A Monetary history of the Ottoman Empire, 167).
