In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Ḥarīr b. Muḥammad has acknowledged and given testimony against himself willingly, while sound in mind and body, fully competent, under no constraint or coercion that he owes, is liable for, and is a debtor from his own funds and under his own responsibility to Muḥammad b. Ayyūb. He owes him, in sifted and winnowed clover seeds, two-thirds of an irdabb, that constitutes a confirmed debt and an obligatory, binding right. He has acknowledged this in the presence of the witnesses of this document. He may neither dispute it, nor invoke any evidence, nor offer any excuse to be released from the debt, whose repayment is guaranteed by ʿUmar b. Aḥmad.

Written on his behalf with his permission and in his presence. Jamāʿa testifies that the obligor acknowledges the content of the document.
