Content

The document lists men and quantities of grain, with the top section of the recto containing a brief inventory of livestock and their value in dinars. The purpose of the list remains unclear at this stage, as the title is partially illegible. However, the final word in the title may be read as پوزه (Pūza), potentially referring to the village پوزه علیا (Pūza-yi ʿUlyā). This conjecture is supported by the fact that four of the names listed in this document also appear in Firuzkuh 62, a short record related to this village: Abū Bakr b. ʿUmar b. Maḥmūd, Muḥammad the shoemaker, Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. Bāsḥāq,  Muḥammad b. ʿUmar b. Darmīsh.
