Default unknown medieval malchus swordblade

who can help me to place and date this sword blade?
who can help me translate the inscription?

there is some kind of (ARAB) naski inscription at the ricasso.
and some other inscription at the backside?!?!

I have no idea where it originally came from! Alexandria??? 13-14thC???
blade length 66cm width 2cm at the ricasso 5cm at the widest point.
please let me know your opinions.
