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.
