Advantages of walls

The writing of this document is cursive characteristic of documents from this time. Of particular note are the beautiful regularity of the letters the consistent spelling and the organization of the document which is distinctly divided into numbered parts indicating an educated and well-read writer. The precise vocabulary and clear demonstrative exposition also attest to this.
