[…] On the verso he turns to accounting: coins sealed with the seal of the Dār al-Kattān reckoned to his account, with receipts taken from the dīwān; and a dispute over short-weight flax bales brought before the amīr Jalāl al-Dawla, shortfalls measured against the Dār al-Kattān standard and attributed to loss in transit.
