Notes

A single bifolium, folded. The sheet contains, on one side, two dirges or songs (aġnā’) for the dead; on the other, a single song for a wedding. On both sides the parts written in Arabic (Egyptian dialect) correspond to parts into which Paul Kahle has transcribed the text. There is neither the title nor the signature.
