Content

Fragment of a letter mentioning the need to hand someone over to a high-ranking official titled ṣudūr-i jahān, after the former had seized the property of Muslims and of a certain Khusraw Khurdād. The wide line spacing and overall format of the letter suggest it was issued by a state official or within a diwan.

او را بمخدوم صدور جهان عز نصره باید [داد؟] 1
تا این قدر کی ملک مسلمانان را غصب گرفتست 2
ملک مخدوم خسرو خرداد (؟) عز نصره را هم غصب 3
می‌گیرد چون اعتراف کردند و برین جمله 4
قرار داد بنده باز گشت بعد بدو روز 5

Folio:
1 “He should be handed over (?) to the lord, Ṣudūr-i Jahān, may God exalt his victory.
2 For he has gone so far as to usurp the property of the Muslims,
3 and will [be sure to] usurp the property of the lord Khusraw Khordād, may God exalt his victory.”
4 After they attested to this,
5 and it was agreed to proceed accordingly I returned two days later.
6 [+/-7]                                                                                              and rash actions
