T-S NS J183

Legal document, possibly a draft. Location: New Cairo. Dated: Kislev 1542 Seleucid (=November/December 1230 CE). Abū l-Ṭāhir Hiba b. Yosef the superintendent (al-qayyim) of the small synagogue in Alexandria (see Med Soc II, 77) has to return to his brother's son Sulaymān everything that he owes him, including some 60 jars of wine after the marriage (imlāk) of (Sulaymān with?) Abu l-Tahir's daughter, which had been concluded a long time ago, was dissolved. It is ambiguous whether the job title "qayyim" refers to Abū l-Ṭāhir himself or to his father. (Information from Goitein's index card.)
