Notes
- In the right margin of the recto is an additional inscription in diagonal lines in the opposite direction of the main inscription, as is common in mail items; fol. appears to be folded as a mail item, but there is no address nor delivery instruction; A record in Judeo-Arabic, from the court of Matsliaḥ ha-Kohen Gaʾon, (mentioned in ll. 2, 14, 16, 20) who served in this capacity between 1127-1138. There are no signatures, which indicates that this is not a valid document, rather a court record or letter; 20 dinar has been presented in Alexandria by an honorable S[amuel ben N]issim (l. 9), is to be distributed among the widow and orphans of an unspecified man, recently deceased.
- Condition: damaged losses from upper left edges; folded as a mail item.
