Notes

• A document in Judeo-Arabic and legal Hebrew, issued in the court of Samuel (ben Ḥananyah) ha-Nagid. Documents referring to him as the Nagid date between 1141-1159; The signatures are Yaḥiyah ben Elijah (autograph) and Elʻazar ben Abraham, whose signature appears to be the same hand as the content of this document. El'azar signs his autograph on a Ketubah issued by the court of Matsliaḥ ha-kohen Gaon in 1134, found in Oxford Heb. b. 12 (Cowely 2875) fol. 1; Abu 'Amr Sa'adia ha-Levi confirms that Abu Natsr Samuel ha-Levi acted correctly at the sale of local, Egyptian silk (l. 2 אלבלדי), which was deposited by Ḥalfon ben al-Damyati as a pledge on his loan. He also acquits Ḥalfon of a debt of 25 dinar owed to him by Ḥalfon's brother Eli.
