Fol. 1 recto contains a five line of a prayer probably from an Hashkavah or Aftara Service, that starts זו היא הדרך.

The rest of the page is empty, save for a secondary inscription in Judeo-Arabic, written in the opposite direction, תפצל אלשיך אבו אלכבן, probably a draft.

So too in fol. 1 verso, there is a thirteen line prayer of a similar type, that starts [הנה מקום, ה[נה.

The remainder of the page is blank, save for secondary inscriptions in Judeo-Arabic and in Hebrew written in the opposite direction, including the first to lines of Judah ha-Levi's farewell for his relative Abraham, that starts דודים נסעו (in the Diṿan published by Brody: Diṿan / Yehudah ben Shemuʾel ha-Leṿi ; Heinrich Brody [ed.]. Berlin : Ḥevrat meḳitse nirdamin, 1910, v. 1, p. 143).

Fol. 2 recto contains a third such prayer. It takes 17 lines and starts אסיפת שלום תהא אסיפתו.
