Sums of money donated by members of the Jewish community in Cairo. One of the names is Ibn al-Abraṣ, who may be the grandfather of the physician in the qāḍī-court document T-S Ar.38.131+T-S Ar.42.212. Another is Shemuʾel ha-Levi Khashāʽ, who appears in the qāḍī-court document as Shamīl b. Naṣr b. Ṣedaqa, known as Ibn al-Khashāʽ. (Information from Dotan Arad.) The list must therefore date to around 1460.
