Why am I picturing Mac grabbing that out his hand and gobbling it down like it’s the only copy.

What he's holding is probably what's known in Israel/Palestine as a Kushan, which is a deed of rights for a plot of land, issued by the Ottoman Empire during its reign over the area, which lasted nearly 400 years, up until 1917, when the British took it over during WW1.
