Tax farming lease from the administration of al-Mustanṣir, dated 477 kharājiyya (1087–88 CE). Mūsā b. ʿĪsā takes upon himself a payment of 8 dinars in monthly installments for "the two zakāts" in the village of Qabīl (situated in the Buḥayra province in the western part of the Nile delta), under the supervision of Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. Munajjā (perhaps the finance director of the district). The taxes will be directed to the Imām al-Mustanṣir billāh and to his Amīr al-Juyūsh (Badr al-Jamālī). Also mentions an official called Ḥātim b. Faraj. The conclusion states that three copies of the document were made, "identical in their wording and sense." The scribe is Zayd b. Jābir al-Sarūjī. Information from Goitein's attached transcription and notes and from Khan.
