Four folios from a small booklet of piyyutim in the Seliḥot format, in which each piyyut is followed by the recitation of the 13 attributes, alluded to by its heading אל מלך. The first three lines of fol. 1 are faded and illegible, written in a more cursive hand the rest, possibly instructions.
(fols. 1-2) The content starts with אז בעזבי מקרא דת (Davidson, Thesaurus of Medieval Hebrew poetry. New York : JTS, 1924, 2111א) which appears in R.

The second half (verses מ-ת), after a graphic sign and three spaces, differs completely from the printed edition.
