Script is a clear Naskhi and the text is profusely vocalised. The headings kitāb and bāb are written in thick black characters, often overlined in red in the first part of the manuscript. The title has been written on the fly-leaf by Col. Hamilton's cataloguer. Script is a clear Naskhi and there are twenty nine lines to the page.
