Legal document concerning an inheritance(?) dispute. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. The case is complicated. Hillel conducts a family partnership with his two minor stepsisters & consent of his stepmother. Before his death his father had arranged that he should be 'trustworthy' (neʾeman), which is confirmed by the widow. They now conclude the partnership (sharika). The sisters receive 8 dirhams per week, he 14 dirhams. The partnership must pay to the mother of the two sisters, a widow (ll. 10 and 2) all that (her husband?) had left her (and what probably was invested in the partnership). The widow was introduced by her son Zayn. See Med Soc I, p. 183. (Information from Goitein's index cards.)
