T-S NS 223.4
Letter from Bū l-Khayr(?) addressed to his father Samʿān al-Iskandarānī, in Fustat, in Qaṣr al-Shamʿ. In Arabic script. Dating: 13th (or perhaps 14th) century, based on the handwriting, spellings, and formulae (of the letter itself and of the marginal jottings). "As for the news about Ibn al-Qabīḥ ("Son of Ugly") the tax collector (al-ḥāshir), may God deliver you from him...." May go on to mention gold hidden in the wall, but needs further examination. Reused for creative pen trials in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic and letter writing practice (one of these, in the margin of recto, is written by "Yosef").
T-S NS 223.7
Legal testimony. It has elements of a formulary (the protagonists are called only fulāna and fulān), but very specific dates are mentioned as well as the names of four witnesses. Likely a writing exercise in which a student copied a legal document but redacted the names. Supporting evidence for this theory is that all the witnesses' names are in the same hand, and the bottom line is a phrase from the beginning of a letter but with a spelling error. The substance of the legal document is that the witnesses came to the woman's house and she told them that on Thursday when everyone was in the synagogue (באת הכנאסת!) she released a certain man then present from all obligations. Witnesses: Mubārak b. Moshe ha-Aḥbār (ZL) (the unusual Arabic word meaning Kohen? or perhaps meaning Ḥaver?); Meshullam ha-Levi b. Sar Shalom (ZL); Yosef ha-Levi b. Shemuel (ZL); Moshe b. Ṣedaqa (ZL). On verso there are piyyutim. ASE
