Remarks

The document identifies three main types of writing substrates: 'Qirtas' (القرطاس), which refers to papyrus or early paper; 'Kaghad' (الكواغد), a specific term for paper introduced via Central Asia; and 'Raqq' (الرقوق), which refers to parchment. The presence of all three terms in a 9th-century context reflects the transitional period where paper was beginning to replace parchment and papyrus in the Islamic administration.
