7 for the expenses of the land, the expenses of al-Mahdī, the expenses
8 of the governor, the expenses of captives and slaves who equipped themselves to join al-Mahdī,
9 may God grant him enjoyment (of life),
10 and other (expenses), (which are administered) with the kharāj for the year one hundred and fifty-seven,
11 five dānaqs and one half dānaq. I have received
12 that from you and you have been released from (the obligation to pay) them to me.
