Letter from David b. Daniel to a parnas (leader of the Jewish community). Written in his own hand, per Gil. In Judaeo-Arabic. Instructing the addressee to obtain from Abū l-Riḍā Shelomo b. Mevorakh 60 wariq (low-quality) dirhams and to pay them to the divorcee of Abū l-Baqāʾ Shemuel. He is to inform her that this payment is for maintenance of his (Shemuel's) daughter for a period of two full months. Her family and kin must cease their objections, because this monthly payment (30 wariq dirhams) is more than she has a right to by law. The parnas should convey this payment to her every month going forward.

Recto
In your name, O Merciful
My lord the parnas, may God support you, shall [r]eceive from the elder Abuʾl Riḍā Solomon b. Mevorakh, may God watch over him forever, 60 waraq dirhems and pay them to the divorcée of Abuʾl-Baqāʾ Samuel, telling her that this is child support for her daughter for two full months. He should direct her to desist from saying improper things about him and to have all her close and distant relatives stop interfering. She should be informed that the amount he is allocating her each month is more than what she should be given by law. She should be informed what that amount is and henceforth no one should protest. It is firmly established that each month my lord the parnas shall receive the prescribed amount and deliver it to her, if God wills. Salvation.
