Legal deed. Fragment (upper right corner). Location: Fustat. Dated: Last decade of Tishrei, year missing. Perhaps during the tenure of the Nagid Shemuel b. Ḥananya, since the phrase נגיד עם ייי צבאות יהי שמו לעולם is partially preserved, and similar phrases often appear in his reshut clauses. A woman whose name is missing (bt. [...] ha-Nikhbad (ZL)), the wife of Mevorakh b. Sar Shalom, makes a declaration of some kind in his favor. Maybe an acknowledgment that she has received a payment due and now releases him. (T-S NS 321.82 seems to be an indirect join. AA)
On recto an opening of a letter to Daniel b. 'Azaryah the exilarch. Ob verso Arabic letter- needs examination.
Legal document. Location: Fustat. Date missing. Fragment of a Hebrew contract of partnership in which a woman named Summāna ("Quail") invests 8 dinars. She will receive 14/24 of the profit, while the two other partners will each receive 5/24. (Perhaps each contributed only 2 dinars.) (Information from Goitein's index card.)
REcto: colophon of non-magical text. written by Evyatar b. Tuvia. The text below reads: בתאריך יום צום אלצגיר קלת נעים למכין אבנהא יא מצרוב באלצט אה אה אה
Verso: בשמך רחמנה וחננא ובשם-... ובאברסכס... שאילת חלום (Info ftpm FGP by Gideon Bohak)
Letter from Malkiel Ashkenazi to his brother Moses in Egypt.
Family letter from Malkiel Ashkenazai fro Hebron (mid. 16th century) to his brother Moshe in Egypt, asking him to send regards to their sister and kids and to R. Mordechai Meyuhas (Info from FGP by Abraham David)
Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Some unconventional spellings. Sent to Zayn b. Yosef according to the address, but actually addressing a woman, 'my sister.' This is an unusual and interesting letter: the sender seems to be under house arrest and is writing in order to urge his (high-placed?) sister to do her utmost to have him freed. "We are in a condition that cannot [be described].... night and day, and we cry... someone does not die before him of hunger(?)... night and day, and they do not let anyone leave the door... or someone influential (ṣāhib jāh)... O my sister... do your utmost... maybe go to [...] and obtain for us a rescript (tawqīʿ) for our release from 'al-maʾmūn' (usually a name, but maybe here a generic term for house arrest?), and redeem us from captivity... I see them dying... and inform me about the situation... All the children send greetings. Greetings to Dāʾūd and his wife and everyone with them. O my sister, by God, do not neglect us. Be persistent and became renowned (for charity?) through me. Whatever you do, redeem us from captivity. [We are] dead, we haven't seen anything to sell or buy...." ASE
