Legal document concerning a dispute over a book given as a deposit. In the hand of Hillel b. ʿEli. Written in Fusṭāṭ but also mentions Alexandria. Written under the authority of Mevorakh b. Saʿadya. Dating: ca. 1097 CE based on the related document. The parties are ʿImrān b. Yosef al-Barqī who is described as poor and ‘damaged of intelligence’ (maʾūf al-ʿaql) and Nissim b. Aharon and his son Aharon. Ultimately Nissim and his son are released from every responsibility regarding a codex sold in order to provide its owner with protection against cold weather and hunger. See also T-S 13J2.6 (PGPID 7960), dated 1097 CE, which is a court record dealing with the same individuals and concerns the sale by Nissim and Aharon of a book left as a deposit by ʿImrān b. Yosef al-Barqī.
