وثيقة رسميّة: ENA 3924.5

الوصف

State-issued receipt for al-Muʿallam Salmūn Iskenderānī who is listed with the administrative title "عامل" (financial intendant or collector of revenues). Dated: "in the end of the month Shawwāl[?] one-thousand" = 1000 AH (1592 CE). The scribe's rendering of "Shawwāl" seems impossible but is confirmed by the Judaeo-Arabic filing note on the verso (along with the year 1000 AH). The receipt bears an Ottoman-era stamp– perhaps that of a "kāshif" (which may be the title of the official who signed the document). Pinholes at the margin ~5–6mm apart. May once have been bound together with ENA 3924.6 by a manuscript collector (based on the different dates it does not seem possible that these receipts relate to the same Salmūn). However, the Ottoman official al-Muʿallam Salmūn Iskenderānī is likely the same person referenced in the letters and petition: T-S Ar.38.111 (PGPID 20707); T-S Ar.39.425 (PGPID 20938); T-S AS 178.88 (PGPID 36909).
