F. Déroche schreibt zu dem Fragment ( The Abbasid Tradition, London 1992, S. 53): "7 / Single folio / Second half of the 8th century AD or early 9th / Fragmentary (largest dimensions now 14.2x16.5cm), with parts of 15 lines surviving / Material Parchment; the recto is the hair side / Text area Length 12.8cm; maximum width now 16.5cm / Script Close to style B.1 / Accession no. KFQ27 / Cat.8 is from the same Qur’an / This folio is badly damaged, and parts of the text, including perhaps a line at the bottom, are missing. The surviving text, which runs from Sūrat al-aʿrāf (VII), verse 204, to Sūrat al-anfāl (VIII), verse 15, was written in black ink, with diacritical strokes. (Note that qāf is marked by a dot under the letter.) There is no vocalization. The verses are divided by clusters of strokes (I.I.I). A decorative band was drawn in brown ink between the two surahs, but only the central part survives. This is divided into three panels: that on the left is divided by x-shapes into smaller areas decorated with circular motifs; the middle panel is filled with a rope-work pattern; and the right-hand compartment is decorated by a series of small circles between two festoon-like bands. Arrow-like devices extend above and below the central section and mark its junctions with the other elements."
