134 from the dissenters and peace. 11 Rabi' al-Akhir, year 300. The seal is affixed. Likewise, to present this to Muhammad al-Asir, and it is incumbent upon the elder to carry out the work, meaning he receives all the spoils he has. To Sheikh [Madiw] from the Ansar. After you hand over to the aforementioned Sheikh Madiw, then whoever hands over something to him from what is mentioned, clarify it in a paper and send it for them to be considered and for the work to be carried out according to them.
