Scope and content
The khawâja Georgi Atînâki, [who is] the contractor for the construction of the road leading from Jerusalem to Jaffa, with the guarantee of the khawâja Georgi Butrîdi, has rejected the verdict concerning them issued by the civil court (mahkama bidâ’iya) in Jerusalem with respect to their inadequacy (qusûr) in the construction of the mentioned road. A summons (waraqat ihdâr) has been sent to one of us, the vice-president [of the city council] the respectable Zaki Effendi in order for him to go to Beirut. Since it is impossible for the aforementioned to go, one of us, [illegible] the respectable Muhammad ‘Abd al-Wahâb was elected as a authorized representative (wakîl) of the [city] council to follow the lawsuit in the court of appeal in Beirut. Therefore it has been decided on the council-level to give full power of attorney (wakâla mutlaqa) for this to the above mentioned, and to compensate him and pay for him all necessary expenses from the city council’s treasury in Jerusalem. This decision was taken on this basis by majority vote (kathiriyat al arâ). Written on the 27th of Nîsân (1)308 (9th of May 1892).
