With minor variations, these Quranic passages reflect the text as known from the standard Cairo edition, and it is possibly the existence of these inscriptions that led Mingana to propose that the original codification of the Quran had taken place during the caliphate, not of ‘Uthman, but of ‘Abd al-Malik.
