Bill of release. Written (also validated) by Avraham b. Natan Av. Dated: 1104 or 1107 CE. Berakhot ha-Kohen releases Avraham ha-Dayyan and David(?) from a claim that his wife(?) sold a house and other belongings of their late daughter who was married to Berakhot(?) to Abū Naṣr during the prolonged absence of Berakhot in Syria. Abū Naṣr said that Berakhot had made קינוניא(?) with the family of his late wife, since a long time after his return from Syria with his daguther, he had not made any claim. Finally, Berakhot received 12 dinars and gives this bill of release, especially specifying that he will not file a claim in Muslim courts. The house was in Qaṣr al-Rūm, 2 doors, one on the street (shāriʿ), the other on the alley (zuqāq) of Azhar al-Shofeṭ. One of the boundaries: Umm Abū l-Faḍl Ibn al-Shofeṭ. Signed by Ḥalfon b.
