ENA 2385.20
Two fragments of a Fatimid order/decree to a lower official. Mentions the caliph's estates (probably mentions its overseer). Repurposed as two folios for Hebrew liturgical text. Mentions appearing before the majlis al-khidma of the amīr Sayf al-Mulk Layth al-Dawla wa-Shujāʿuhā. . . the ṣanīʿa of the caliph, the military commander (mutawallī al-ḥarb). It is possible that there is a gap in the text between lines 3 and 4. The official in question could be al-Amīr al-Muẓaffar Sayf al-Mulk Maʿadd l-Mulk Layth al-Dawla ʿAlī b. Ishāq b. al-Sallār, who was the governor of Alexandria during the time of al- Ẓāfir, hence this document could be dated to that period, i.e., post 545/1150. (See al-Maqrīzī, al-ittiʿāz, pg. 196).
