תיאור

Verso (original use): A state report, most likely a draft, in Arabic script. Dating: 12th C because of report openings. Another report is written inversely at the bottom of the document, but is not very readable. Reports on the delivery of produce (al-ghalla), most likely state produce. Recto: Scribal practice. Chancery-esque hand, wide space between the lines. A learner has copied every line in the space between the lines (cf. a similar example in Rustow, Lost Archive, p. 222). Refers to some dignitary in whom "we (=the Jews?) and the Muslims have great benefit" (ولنا وللمسلمين به نفع كبير). Also mentions "ḍamin maks bi-miṣr" (overseer of the customs in Fusṭāṭ). Needs further examination.
