Recto/verso:
Section:
Accounts in Ladino and Hebrew. Western Arabic numerals are in use with one entry on the recto dated 26 Sivan [5]632 or July 2 1872CE. This dated entry also mentions S[eñor] Yiṣḥaq Menashshe and lists a variety of coinage types such as "old one ducats / דוקאדו ישן אונו" and "new ducats / דוקאדוס מואיבוס". Given the dating of the fragment, the latter coinage designation is likely not a reference to Venetian gold ducats, however, the "old one ducats" may refer to pre-1797 currency from Venice. Another coinage label takes form in "Mahmudi / מאחמודי" which is reference to money minted under the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II. The list format continues on the fragment's verso with a wide variety of goods referenced, such as "black and white silk string / קורדילה די סידה לבן ושחור" which appears ten lines up from the bottom of the right column.
