This is a barāt document, which is a certificate of quittance, or receipt, which the warehouse gave to the taxpayer in return for what he has handed over. On the term barāt, see Bosworth, “Abū ʿAbdallāh al-Khwārazmī on the Technical Terms of the Secretary's Art: A Contribution to the Administrative History of Mediaeval Islam,” in Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient 12/ 2 (Apr.,1969), p. 124.
This type of barāt should not be confused with the second type we find in the set, which denotes a cheque or promissory note - see, for example, Ms.Heb.8333.43.
