الوصف

Twitch divination (palmomancy) fragment in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. See Wagner, E., & Bohak, G. (2008). T-S AS 157.50: A twitch divination text in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. [Genizah Research Unit, Fragment of the Month, April 2008]. https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.48226. The reading and translation of kummara are uncertain. Wagner and Bohak read כמדה. It is clearly vocalized in the manuscript. It must be some part of the body, so כמרה is probably a better reading; see Lane s.v. KMR.
