Notes

• 2 lists of people needing aid in paying the polltax. The first list, in a well-ruled semi-cursive hand, consists of 51 names, often providing additional information about the beneficiaries, including places of origin and professions. Three of these descriptions, verso col. 1, are in Arabic characters. After 11 lines on verso col. 1, hand changes to a primitive, unprofessional square hand, poorly ruled, with many spelling errors, often cramping more than one name per line, particularly towards the end. In this list only the names (about 55 of them) are provided; Some of the names also appear in similar lists in Cambridge T-S K15.93 and 96, and T-S 13J 6.20, which are probably from the mid-11th century; Much of the contents of the list were described by Goitein, Mediterranean Society, vol. II Appendix B no. 107 (p. 467).
