Der von Nabia Abbott erstellte Katalog der Koranfragmente des Oriental Institute Chicago enthält folgenden Eintrag: "No. 11. A 6962. 2d Century after the Hijrah. Plate XVII Size and general condition.- Fine large parchment 31.5 x 26.5 cm., containing 18 lines to the full page; considerably damaged, however, along the margins and well into the text. To judge by parchment, size, number of the lines to the page, spacing, general appearance and pecularities of the script, and the color and ornamentation used, this and No. 10 belong to the same copy of the Ḳurʾān. They are, furthermore, successive folios.Contents.- Recto, Sūrah 2:283 (تكتتموا) -286 (لا طاقة); verso, Sūrahs 2:286 (على القوم)-3:7 (تشبة من[ه]). In recto 14 we have اكتسبتُ for the اكتسبتْ of the printed text. Verso 8, where the printed text is بِأَياتِ, has باَييٰت. The two dots toward the end suggest un, but may offer instead the alternative reafings a and i. The repititation of y is etymologically interesting as indicating an earlier pronouncation after the measure fāʿilah, that is, āyiyah, plural āyiyāt [Bustānī I 53.]. The sources for variant readings at my disposal throw no light on the manuscript version of this word. Script.- As in No. 10. Of special interest is المومنون of recto 8, for it is written with double indication of not only the vowels but the hamza; the latter is represented by a dot on the line and also by a semicircle (cf. p. 40). Ornamentation and text devision.- Same features as in No. 10. From this folio we learn also that the Ḳurʾān to which Nos. 10-11 belonged used a narrow decirative band to separate the sūrahs; the practice is illustrated in Ar. Pal. Plates 13-16 and 19-21. The motif here is a simple one, consisting of green X's with four red dots around their centers alternating with green lozenges containing red and green dots and accompanied by four red semicircles apiece, one projecting from each side. Green scrolls connect these successive elements. Above this band, written in dull ink in a small Kūfic hand, are the title and number of verses of the sūrah following. Not only ink and script, but also spacing, show the red to be a later addition." Abbott S. 66
