Evidence
"Arabic, indigenous paper, one single leaf with text on either side, 23.2 × 13.5 cm, expert naskh script likely to have been written in Persia"
Remarks
The fragment is an unidentified prayer text where formulas are directed to God in the second person. Although notes suggest it is from al-Ḥiṣn al-Ḥaṣģn min Kalām Sayyid al-Mursalģn by Muḥammad b. Muḥammad al-Ǵazarģ, this remains unverified (p. 105).
