Folio:
1  Abū Bakr b. ʿUmar
2  Glory is to God alone. 
3  The commander in charge [of the relevant jurisdiction] shall know that out of 250 mann of wheat
4  that belong to Bahrām-i Ḥājjī (?), thirteen have remained [undelivered].
5  [You] shall obtain [from him] either a barāt for [the value] of 13 mann or the grain [owed in kind]. That shall
6  be all, since the [tax] payments [for all other] farmers have [now] been taken care of,
7  and nothing else is outstanding other than these 13 mann [of wheat]. [Please] take note so you are aware,
8  and understand the policy (? ḥuqūq) and its importance, if God almighty is willing.
