Notes

• A document in Judeo-Arabic, mixed with legal Aramaic. Sitt al-Dar, wife of Ṣedaka ha-Levi, promises to comply with the stipulation of her late brother (also named Ṣedaka), that she should provide for her mother and for her mother's funeral; She also promised to pay her brother Hiba abu Sa'id 10 dinar if he appeared in the country. Her husband confirms, and stands security for her promise; The document is signed by the court of Joseph "the expert" ben Elʹazar, Elʹazar ha-kohen he-Ḥazzan ben Eli he-Ḥaver, Joseph ha-kohen ben Nissim, and in the corner, in a different hand, Yakhin ben Abraham; The first of these is signed on a draft of a court document issued in 1085 in Fustat, along with Mevasser ben Ḥalfon, in Oxford Bodleian Heb. d. 66 (Cowely 2878) fol. 133 verso; The hand of the scribe is recognized as that of Hillel ben Eli.
