Comments on Text From the middle of the fourth line to the middle of the eights line in the first text on recto is Quote from the Quran [44. Sūra Al-Dukhān, 25], Margoliouth didn’t provide translation to this Verse. Margulith notes that these charms are seriously misspelt, as appears from the Quranic quotation. It did not seem worth while to reproduce the magical series of letters, which perhaps conceal Quranic texts.
