Notes

• The last line on the recto and the first on the verso are destroyed but for feeble traces.

The lower left (right) corner is lost. Both faces of the sheet are damaged by dirst and moisture, and the writing on the verso is faded at places. There are some holes.
   
• The script is an old Naskhi, with some Kufic features. Diacritical signs are used, but not consistently.
   
• Identifier(s): upenn.apis.100.
