François Déroche schreibt zum Fragment KFQ 69 (Déroche, The Abbasid Tradition, London 1992, S. 107): "55 / Single folio / 9th or 10th century AD / 9.2 x 15.2 cm, with 11 lines to the page / Material Parchment; the verso is the hair side / Text area 7 x 14.2 cm / Script A variant of group D / Accession no. KFQ 69 / This script of this folio, which is related to style D.V, is particularly interesting because of the unusual way that the vertical shafts have been extended. In D styles such as D.Vc (see cat. 58) and D.Vb (see cat. 57), what could be dubbed ‘vertical mashq’ is applied consistently, but in cat. 55 it is only the upper strokes of the first line that are extended in this way: final nūn in the same line was left untouched. / The text consists of Sūrat al-baqarah (II), verses 197-204, and is written in brown ink, with diacritical strokes. Red dots indicate the vocalization. Individual verses are not punctuated, but a red and green circle indicates the end of a group of ten verses.”
