Per the original article:

>> High-resolution digitisation by the Early Manuscripts Electronic Library and open access through the Sinai Manuscripts Digital Library allowed scholars to study the text for the first time in close detail.

You can read it right now. Didn't take long to find: https://sinaimanuscripts.library.ucla.edu/catalog/ark:%2F211...

It seems quite readable. I would say most Arabic speakers would be able to read and understand it. I had no trouble reading it myself.
