هذه براة من من نصر بن سليم عامل الامير النصر بن 2
سليم اكرمه الله على وسبا ومدر ورزم 3
للقاروال بن مير انك اديت الى مما صار 4
عليك فى قصر نهر يسكن وغندر من خراج 5
سنة اربعة وخمسين وماية درهمين ودانقين 6
ومن القسم خمسة دونيق ونصف وقبضت 7
ذلك منك وبرئت الى منها وكتب فى 8
ذو الحجة سنة خمس وخمسين وماية 9
