the writing is in arabic script in malay language.

Can't make out the first word in the third line because the picture is cropped and a few alphabets missing but the complete sentence is like this:-

Mantuan. Pendita. Adaama (???). Banjarmasin. Jamadilakhir. Hari. Sembilan.1311. ????. tengkara(?). Dari. Pulau. Kalimantan

Trans:

Owner(?). Holyman. Adaama(??) Banjarmasin. Muslim month of Jamadilakhir. Day 9, 1311.....??? tangkara(?). From. Island. Kalimantan

??? missing word (?) word that i don't understand
