In return, the divorcée acknowledges having received from her husband all that is due to her and agrees not to give him a bad name, nor sue him before a Muslim court or state authority. In case of default, she would be banned or excommunicated. Payments were to be made to a third person in Cairo, specified in the document. September, 1052. (S. D.

On Monday, 24 Tishrei (1)364 AG (= 21 September 1052 CE), R. Joseph b. R. Ṣedaqa
-
the keeper of a grain store and his divorcee Gh[aniyya] bt. R. Ḥasan came before the court. We made the symbolic purchase from him according to his will and desire
-
without coercion that he will pay four dirhams every week to R. Salāma the seller of olive oil in Cairo
-
to be spent on the maintenance of his son Ibrahīm whose
-
age is now five years. This Ibrahīm will stay
-
with his mother, Ghaniyya. If Joseph would like to visit him on Saturday or
-
during the week, he (i.e. Joseph) will take him (i.e. Ibrahīm) on the condition that he will return him to her.
-
After we verified her identity, we made the symbolic purchase from Ghaniyya for a complete release of R. Joseph
-
from her ketubah and from any suspicion and claim. She will not harass him, nor sue him
-
in Muslim courts, nor bring him before the government. We made it clear to her
-
that if she were to break (this agreement) she will be banned with her name and ostracised.
-
Then both of them cancelled any prior notification. We have written (this) so it will be (a testimony) of right.
-
Ṣedaqa b. Menaḥem, m(ay his) s(oul rest in peace).
