Fiancée: [...] bt. Yosef ha-Kohen. Early marriage payment: 10 dinars. Delayed marriage payment: 40 dinars. Witnessed by Shabbetay b. Avraham (active 1135–78) and Yeshuʿa b. Shemuel. Document #2: The fiancé Yefet b. Yaʿaqov accepts the condition that he will not make his future wife move away from Minyat Zifta. Witnessed by Yeshuʿa b. Shemuel. Document #3: The fiancé is named Yefet. The document is too faded to discern many of the details. Mentions "laʿb" (playing musical instruments? games? gambling?).
