Where the text names it

P089.L02

من نمی‌دانم کجا هستم و این تکه آسمان بالای سرم، یا این چندوجب زمینی که رویش نشسته‌ام مال نیشابور یا بلخ و یا بنارس است؟

I do not know where I am, nor whether this piece of sky above my head, or these few spans of ground on which I sit, belongs to Nishapur or Balkh or Benares.
