"حجة العقد في كاغد كبير رومي ، محرر ومسطر بالذهب"
Remarks
The use of gold for ruling and text in a legal document (Hujja) denotes high social or official status. The document belonged to the legacy of Sheikh Muhammad al-Janbalati. The mention of 'Rumi' paper (Byzantine or European origin) in conjunction with gold ink is typical of high-quality Ottoman Egyptian manuscripts (p. 126).
