Legal document. Partnership document. Dating: 1300-1350 (per Goitein). This manuscript mentions the two partners, Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abū al-Faraj and Khalaf b. Ḥasan, who withdrew from a group involved in banking, because some of the partners had loaned funds without the permission of Abū al-Ḥasan. Apparently, Abū al-Ḥasan visited the seems to have been in charge of the workplace but visited only periodically. The withdrawal appears to have taken place six years before this document was written and the account with Abū al-Ḥasan was settled. The partnership likely charged interest on some of its loans, since the clients include Muslims and Christians (e.g., a Coptic clergyman from Barbaya).
