Condition | Fine parchment with broken lower and outer margins. The inner margins show signs of the binding. The text lost between recto and verso would need about 8 more lines. |
Lines | On recto and verso: 10 lines each in Arabic |
Recto/Verso | Source of description: On recto and verso: Qur'an |
Hands | Clear and carefully executed Meccan script. The ink, originally dark, is unevenly faded into various shades of brown. Single and group letters are separated by as much as 1 cm and words are frequently divided at the end of a line. Diacritical strokes are used freely. It is possible that the letter numerals in this text are of a later date than the text, for the letters and their circles are drawn with a wavering and uncertain hand, and the ink has taken on a more reddish tint in fading. |

Date | Ist-IInd century A.H. |
Note (general) | Strokes mark the end of a verse and verses are numbered by tens by inclosing the appropriate letter numeral in a circle. The verse divisions agree with that of the printed text, which follows the Kufic usage. |
