Evidence

"Berlin ms. or. fol. 4313... according to its orthography and 14C dating it belongs to the oldest textual witnesses preserved. The simple handwriting of the manuscript, without any vowel dots and ornamentation, appears to be among the oldest."

Remarks

The manuscript can be retraced to Cairo (p. 214). It shows similarities to the Ḥiǧāzī style of writing and lacks typical later features like vowel dots or decorative ornamentation (p. 211). It is classified as ḥiǧāzī II in the Déroche system (p. 216).
