Reference to a case in which someone is contesting a levirate marriage, written in the margin. Does not seem to be related to the main text which concerns fundraising to redeem young Jewish captives in Alexandria. She is a childless widow, whose brother-in-law is obliged to pursue one of two options: either he must marry his sister-in-law and carry on his brother’s name by producing children with his widow, or he must practice halisah, a legal maneuver whereby the widow frees him of that obligation. It appears that there is an issue of forcing the parties to marry, though it is not clear who is pressuring whom, among the widow, the brother-in-law and the local Jewish authorities. Information from Holo, Byzantine Jewry in the Mediterranean Economy.
