PER H 82
Legal document. In Hebrew. Location: Pitom (=Fayyūm). Dated: Thursday, 20 Iyar 4758 or 4768 AM (4738 can be ruled out, as 20 Iyar was not a Thursday). This is an agreement outlining conditions under which a wife, Salma bt. Natan, is taken back by her husband, Ibrāhīm b. Salām, after a period of separation. The conditions reflect a downward change in social stratum. This document was published by Assaf in the Marx Jubilee Volume and translated nearly in full by Goitein in Med Soc III, p. 215. Witnesses: Moshe b. Yosef ha-Kohen; Sar Shalom ha-Levi b. Nissin; Salma b. Shaʿya, Yosef b. Seʿadel, Shubayyib b. Shekhanya, al-Giddem ("the amputee"), and Ṭayyib b. Avishay. The witness Yosef b. Seʿadel also signs T-S 12.496, T-S 12.198, and Bodl MS heb. b 12/7; the latter two were validated by Shemarya b. Elḥanan (ca. 980–1010). (Information in part from Goitein’s index card.)
