Michaelides Fragments

<p style='text-align: justify;'> <a href='' onclick='store.loadPage(1);return false;'>Recto:</a> Administrative document containing a list recording various legal acknowledgements (’iqrārāt) concerning financial matters. This document is probably an official register of acknowlegements. There are three entries on the recto. Each entry opens with a siglum (the meaning of which is unclear) followed by لصاحبه. The text of the entry opens with the word قصة followed by a person, i.e. 'the affair of so-and-so'. The entry summarizes the contents of the ’iqrār. <a href='' onclick='store.loadPage(1);return false;'>Verso:</a> Continuation of the text on the recto. There are two entries on the verso. One of these is relatively long (10 lines) and opens: قصة محمد بن مكرم. </p>
