Written on a small piece of velum parchment, affixed to the door of the Egyptian Temple in Phillipi with a curved dagger.

  A.H. 22
  We have, in the main, observed scupulously the custom of the Christians in these lands,
  and have plundered none of their tombs or temples, despite their innumerable questionable 
  practices.  But we who have been poor and homeless so long could scarcely resist an 
  abandoned temple of idolaters, and indeed Allah has rewarded us well for our daring.  We 
  could not slay the great beast, but lured him into a trap, and, although Mamdouh perished 
  in the attempt, his loss was offset by such great plunder that surely on the day of 
  judgment he will be able to say his life and death were no in vain.  We will take this 
  wealth we have extracted from the ground and build ourselves a homeland dedicated to the 
  true faith and to the preservation of what we have seen with our two eyes.
