Notes

• The oldest dated Genizah document. A draft of a ḳetubah, in which the writing is interrupted after the date in the seventh line, probably because the day in the month is mistaken: 17 Tishre 1183 (שבת אשר בתשרי [...] אלפא ומאת ותמנ״ן מציון ותלת), Seleucid year (לשתרות). The parchment has been cut off beneath this final line. On the right margin: ברוך ייי הללויה מציון שכון ירושלום (sic!); Verso contains a secondary inscription, added much later, which fits the cut of the discarded parchment. It contains a Midrashic passage in Aramaic about the humility of Adam among the creatures. The term בקא (single flea) appears, which is mentioned but once in Rabbinic literature (Talmud Ḥulin 58b).
   
• Condition: fragment; incomplete, cropped beneath final line.
