Left side of a page of legal queries in the hand of Moshe b. Levi ha-Levi (found by Amir Ashur).

Legal document involving exchange of commodities and money between Avraham b. Ṣūr and Shalom de Leon and Yiṣḥaq de Herrera and David Disqawi (?), dated 6 Nisan 5304 AM, which is 1544 CE. (הרשד is written, but the ר has a mark over it meaning that it should not be counted.) The document is in Hebrew, but the note on verso is probably partly in Ladino (קי שון = ke son). (Information in part from A. David's edition via FGP.)

Perhaps the address of letter from "your servant Meshullam b. Menashshe." There is writing in Arabic underneath. Verso was not photographed.
