The statement of the amount of the debt which an acc[ount-book] included
for the group of the partners, which was three hundred [dinars.]
When tw[o of them] separated from the group of the partners,
being Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abū al-Faraj and Khalaf b. Ḥasan,
the remaining group of the partners were involved with sitting in the storeroom.
For their part of the total from the aforementioned included account-book,
the aforementioned three hundred dinars, which was the capital
allocated to its owners—they are the ones who took it out without
my permission—I, Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abū al-Faraj. From its amount (was)
//from the expenditure of// Abū al-‘Alā b. Abū al-Ṣidād, from Būra, (of which)
the [grou]p of the partners received eighteen dina(rs.) […]
They also received three dinars from him.
The reckoning for Damietta which the account-book included: from Jalāl
al-Dawla, head of the government embroidery workshop, fifty dinars
and from Muntaṣir al-Būrī, twenty-five dinars
and from Fakhr al-Dawla, five hundred dirhams
and from the Coptic clergyman from Barbaya, four hundred dirhams,
and the rest of the amount was divided throughout the town; they took it out
in their hand without my permission. They did not trouble me therein, for
we entered (only periodically) and they were the (regular) keepers of the storeroom.

At our separation they guaranteed all that which the account-book allocated us and they paid its total to me,
which entered into our partnership (shirka) ….. a period of six years from when I separated all my business
the same time
