Description:
Seems to be a list of the week-days (legible only on the verso) and the dates according to the Muslim calendar: Ar. 39-1 lists the 25th, 26th and 27th of Rajab (the seventh month of the Hijri calendar); Ar. 39-2 lists the 11th (Tuesday), 12th (Wednesday) and 13th (Thursday) of Sha'ban (the eighth month of the Hijri calendar); below the day there is a summery (of the days?): al-jumla (=all in all/ a total of) 5 etc. The dates in Ar. 39-1 are decorated with shapes of the no. 6 beneath them. The word dirham can be read on Ar. 39-1, so this might be a list of expenses made on each day?
