Translated by Dora Zsom.
Joseph ben Eli, who is known as Ibn Qashqūsh, betrothed Jamī‘ bat Solomon, virgin, for the sake of a complete betrothal. Her deputy received the silver wedding ring, and he affirmed that he would pay her one dinar in advance, and twenty-five dinars bride price. The sum that he would pay later is ten . . . , and they would enter [the wedding canopy] before the Passover festival of this year.
And we, the undersigned witnesses, performed the qinyan [binding agreement] ceremony with this Joseph ben Eli, [obligating him] to comply with everything that is written above, using an object that is appropriate for a complete and strict qinyan ceremony. And this was in the middle of the month Tevet, [in the year] [1]443 according to the Era of the Documents, in Fustāt-Misr, which lies on the banks of the Nile. [Under the] authority of our master, Matsliaḥ ha-Kohen, head of the academy of the “Pride of Jacob,” may his name persist forever!
