The document reads in part: “It is stated that the shares of inheritance from the deceased Muhammad ʻAli Khan are, in total, nine, after subtracting his mother’s share; of these, six shares belong to his three sons and three shares belong to his three daughters. From the death of Muhammad ʻAli Khan to this date, 1853 or 1854, twenty seven years have passed, in which all the property was in the hands of his sons. It was in the possession of Muhammad Khan for ten years and the possession of Ibrahim Khan and the deceased Aqa Jaʻfar for seventeen years. His sons did not give their sisters their shares or the profits. Whoever is aware of this should testify by writing their names and seal the document. 1853/54.” On margin: “From the words of affiants and other investigation it was clear that what is stated is true. Sealed by Haydar al-Musavi, son of Tayyib.”
