Early marriage payment: 50 dinars ('gift'). Delayed marriage payment: 100 dinars. Value of the trousseau: 500 dinars. The bride also brings a female slave named ʿŪd al-Bān worth 20 dinars; a 1/2 house in Cairo, in Ḥārat Zuwayla in 'the alleys of al-Naṣṣār,' which her brother gave her; and a 1/2 house, adjacent to the former, which Amīn al-Dawla gave her. NB: Goitein referred to this document as folio 24–25 (Firk. II NS 1700.24-25) in accordance with the foliation written in pen; but the correct folios are 25 (recto and verso) and 26 (recto), as written in pencil (the librarian with the pen gave two folios the number 8). (Information from Goitein's notes.)
