Court ledger with records of 10 distinct documents. Dated: Ḥeshvan–Elul 1601 Seleucid, which is 1289–90 CE. Several of the entries refer to the presence and/or the house of the Nagid (probably David I b. Avraham b. Moshe Maimonides). At least one specifies the location as New Cairo. Many entries are crossed out. In chronological order:
1. Undated: End of a marriage record.
2. 14 Ḥeshvan: an oath not to pray in the Babylonian or Palestinian synagogues for a period of two months.
3. 29 Ḥeshvan: report of a lost ketubba. The husband is Makārim b. Maymūn.

5. 22 Kislev: The tax farmer of al-Maṭariyya releases his partner Abū Muʿammar from all claims (unless the latter tries to enter the town before 29 months have elapsed). R. Ḥayyim was present. (Compare DK 236, probably unrelated, but also about the tax farming of al-Maṭariyya.)
