Legal proceedings. Maʿālī ha-Kohen, the agent of Yosef b. Ṣedaqa he-Ḥaver, appeared before the court and declared that—unless granted explicit permission by the court—he would not charge for the storage space nor the transfer fee for half of the wood which he brings up for the wife of Abū Yaʿaqov known as Ibn Naḥum. This wood is in the house (dār) which is the share of her sister, the wife of Abū l-Faḍāʾil, which she inherited from her father. The name Avraham b. Shemaʿya he-Ḥaver appears at the bottom in the same hand as the document; he may have been the scribe. But this is not a complete document, as it is not dated and there are no other witness signatures.
