ENA 3795.8

Recto/verso: recto
Recto: Legal document. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. A woman declares that she has no claims against Rabbenu Yiṣḥaq ha-Rav ha-Gadol nor against her cousin (ibnat khāl) the female servant of the synagogue nor the latter's husband [Yiṣ]ḥaq b. Rajā. Goitein understands this document as a deathbed will and the reason for the release as that she had lived on public charity. What the document says is that "if it were not for God or her, I would have been cast down in the road, and I would have perished." Two lines are crossed out, mentioning an item worth approximately 10 dirhams. (Information in part from Goitein’s index card)
