The Shia Kadi, intelligent looking, large white turban & black beshi, neatly dyed black beard,
glasses. Sh A. Latif, rather shrill voiced, elderly little man, glasses, had shawl falling over his

face as he sat at table, took long time to write. Sh Rashid, old lined face, the only one alive
of those alive who witnessed Sh Isa's document over 40 years ago - red dyed deard, rather

messy clothes, leaning heavily on stick. Ab J-urliane & on the spot & careful over arranging
document to hide its contents.
