Accounts in Arabic with a complex array of monetary calculations with the symbol "ق" on occasion indicating silver kuruş (which may have been minted as early as 1690 but did not reach wider circulation until 1703). The coinage label along with the paleography help estimate the dating of the fragment as 18th/19th-century.
