Accounts in Judeo-Arabic listing a variety of individuals and corresponding monetary sums in "silver / פצה". At the beginning of each entry before the name appears "טרפ / taraf" is written, which is in Ottoman Turkish is literally a "side" or "place". In this context, however, it means "for Moshe Mizrahi's [part]". This usage is common more generally in early modern Ottoman financial recordkeeping. Other names mentioned include: Shelomo Barukh, Mordechai Guner[?], Efrayim ʿAkubas, and others. Based on the paleography of this fragment, the dating is likely 18th/19th-century. MCD.
