India Book I,21. Legal document. Dated: 23 [Elul] 1412 Sel. The death of Shelomo Lebdi was not only a serious personal blow to his brother, Yosef Lebdi, but it also meant that Yosef could lose half of his property to his nephew, David b. Shelomo, depending on what type of partnership the court will determine to have existed between the two brothers. While I, 20 (Mosseri V,374.1) shows a testimony forward by David, this document shows a testimony in the court of Fustat brought forward by Yosef Lebdi. Sedaqa b. David testifies regarding a rather large shipment (worth about 400 dinars) that Yosef deposited in his hands to be delivered in Tripoli (Libya) in the Maghreb to Shelomo Lebdi or his son David. The fragmentary state of the document prevents a detailed understanding of the events. The month is missing, but Goitein and Friedman narrow it down based on the timeline of Lebdi's travels. They convert the date to August 17, 1101 in the Hebrew edition and August 19, 1101 in the English edition.
