Notes

• Two complete columns fill the recto, a third fills three quarters of the left column on the verso. The columns are divided into 6 lists, according to the days of collection (or appeals), such as Shemini Atseret, and Monday the First of Marḥeshṿan, which appear at the head of each list. Three of the payments in column II were made through the banker Ṣadaqa al-'Attar. This scribe has also written other such lists of charitable operations, Cambridge T-S Misc. 8 fols. 9, 29 and 76, donations toward building a synagogue ca. 1095; T-S K15.70; T-S NS J 41, distribution of bread; Lists of contributors: T-S K15.106; T-S NS J 403; Much of the contents of the list were described by Goitein, A Mediterranean Society, vol.
