Three drafts of legal documents. (a) Recto: פוטיתי bt. Eliyya, the divorcee of Yosef b. Elʿazar and the mother-in-law of Yosef b. Yiṣḥaq appears before the court of David b. Daniel "the Exilarch." Evidently she and Yosef b. Elʿazar are coming to a settlement about the payment that will be due to her on account of the divorce, which may be substantially lower than what was agreed upon in their ketubba. (See Zinger, Women, Gender, and Law (PhD Diss), 143n43.) (b) Verso, main text: Location: Fustat. Dated: Monday, 24 Iyyār 1403 Seleucid, which is 1092 CE. Berakhot b. Moshe, the husband of Jalīla bt. Abū ʿAlī, and Ḥalfon Ibn al-Tūzī, the husband of Jalīla's sister Sumr, sue for their share in the inheritance of the recently deceased Abū ʿAlī. Somehow also involved is Abū ʿAlī's mother known as Ibnat al-Tarshāʾ ("daughter of the deaf woman"), who may have died in Alexandria. (c) Verso, margins: Perhaps a deed of sale for a property; mentions the large sum of 70 dinars. Mostly in Aramaic. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.)
