The note gives the founder's name as Karam 'Alī Naṣr Allāh al-Mukhāṭib, an official in charge of property (Mutaṣarrif-i Mamālik-i Dīvān-i 'Alī) in the ministry of Shāh Bābār (thus), Manṣūr al-Mulk ibn Manṣūr al-Mulk and states that if there is anything missing from the juz', it should be brought to the attention of Mas'ūd Nūr Ṣundūqī (i.e. the keeper of the ṣundūq, a box for housing copies of the Qur'ān) of the fort (qal'ah) R.t(?).h.h.w.r, perhaps a corruption of Ranthambhor.
