Folio:
1 In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate.
2 This is a document from Maskan to Mīr b. Bēk al-Bāmiyānī. I have contended with you (in law)
3 concerning the fact that I made a sale to you and the sēr had also made a sale to you. Subsequently he demanded that I return to you (the price)
4 to his debit. I have returned (the price) to you to the debit of the sēr and I have no suit or claim upon you
5 with regard to little or much except a suit of charity, and whatever liability overtakes you with
6 regard to Ibrāhīm or anybody else ⎯ it is incumbent upon me to clear it with what is weighty
7 and what is light (= whatever the amount involved). It has been witnessed by Muḥammad b. Abū Shamkh, Naṣr b. al-Qāsim,
8 Naṣr b. Sālim, Yūsuf b. al-Muhājir, Muḥammad the client
9 of Sṭayfī, Ḥanān b. Ḥabīb, Abū Ḥafṣ the financial administrator of Madr,
10 Abū Ḥammād, al-Hwrbk (??), Khālid b. Slkyan (??)
11 and Memoqiyān (??). It has been written with ten days remaining of al-Muḥarram
12 of the year one hundred and forty-five.
13 Maskan and the witnesses set their seal. Ibrāhīm b. Salīm.
