Maybe it is Qistas? Yes, it is Amman so maybe you are right! Curious...Thank you!
Fuad Yahya Apr 25, 2020:
The reason I am asking . . . is that there is a big Jordanian IT company called Qistas that leverages provides such services as "archiving judicial rulings, stating legal materials." That should also explain the word المصدر

The context for المصدر قسطاس Here is the context:

استنادا الى قرار محكمة تمييز حقوق عمان رقم .... هيئة خماسية - المصدر فسطاس
Fuad Yahya Apr 25, 2020:
As a general rule, . . . posting the sentence in which the term appears in its original language works much better than trying to describe the sentence in another language. Sometimes, additional contextual information can also be helpful (country of origin, date, type of case, etc.).

@asker,
More context would be more than useful madam.
