5 I took these three plots of land: Pūlar, Sūyrak and B.r Bahārak with
6 forty-two bowls of grain, [consisting of] two parts barley and one part wheat, half of which
7 being twenty-one bowls. In a period of three years, it will become one hundred and twenty-six bowls. I took this place

10 whether it be a small or large [amount], and [to] the sulṭān's straw, I, Ḥusayn b. Ḥasan, shall pay [it] off”. This was written in [the month of] Rajab, in the year
11 four hundred and thirty. He shall keep half a kharwār from this straw.
