Legal document. Partnership agreement. Location: Fustat. Dating: 1213. This commenda records court proceedings regarding a partnership; only one of the partners' names, Saadiah b. Nathan, is preserved. Saadiah invests 80 dinars and perhaps other currencies or commodities for trade, possibly in silk. The Torah verse cited in line 11 (from Numbers 10:32) suggests that profits are to be split evenly between Saadiah and the active partner. That the document is written in Hebrew and uses the anno mundi dating system is consistent with other documents from the court of Abraham Maimonides (e.g., TS 12.126, which also refers to the "old system" of dating and is entirely in Hebrew). The script of the two documents would seem to be different. (Information from Lieberman, "A Partnership Culture," 256)
