T-S AS 144.245
Coptic church document. The priest Yūsuf petitions the priest and apostolic representative Mattā for an exemption from the ruling against wearing a woolen hat (ṭāqiyya) during Mass, as his head and his eyes are susceptible to chills. There are two additional columns of text, which are at least somewhat related to the main petition (both refer to an ijāza/exemption; the first is signed by Mattā and dated 19 Hātūr 1509; the second is signed by [...] al-Nā'ib al-Rasūlī and dated 1510). The petition itself appears to be dated 1509, which might correspond to 1792/93 CE. These readings are somewhat tentative.
