Verso
-
يعرف با[ـبـ]ـي [ا]لاعسر ريس الصناعة و[ ]
-
بين المملوك وبينه معاملة ولا عليه حسـ[ـا]ـب ولا جبة ضمان ولا كفالة
-
وأن الريس المذكور ضيق على المملوك وطالبه عن اخيه بما لا يلزمه
-
وخوفه بالغرامة ورسم بالمملوك من قبله وتقاوي بقوة يده وجاهه
-
والعدل يمنع من ظلمه واخذه عن غيره بما لا يلـ[ـزمه والمملوك يسل]
-
الانعام عليه بخرج التوقيع العـ[ـالى بازالة]
-
الاعتراض عن المملوك فلا يوخذ [عنه ]
-
وحمله على قضية العدل واقرار التوقيع بيد[ـه ]
-
وللمجلس الراى العالى فى ذلك ان شا الله تعالى
-
الحمد لله وحده وصلواته على محمد وسلم
Verso
- ... known as 'Abū al-'A'sār, the head of the arsenal and [ there have been no] dealings
- between him and the slave, he is not in debt, nor does he owe a deposit or a surety,
- but the aforementioned head oppressed the slave and demanded from him something that was owed by his brother but that he himself had no obligation to pay.
- He threatened him with a penalty and issued a tarsīm against the slave on his behalf and intimidated (him) with his strength and high office.
- Justice should prevent his unlawful action and his taking from other people what they have no [obligation to pay. The slave requests]
- a kindness to be done to him by the issuing of an exalted rescript [ to remove]
- the oppressive treatment from the slave in order that [ ] is not taken from [him,]
- to treat his case with justice and to deposit the rescript in his hand [ ]
- To the seat belongs the exalted resolution regarding that, if God, the exalted, wills.
- Praise be to God alone, his benedictions be upon Mupammad and save him.
