Legal document. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. Location: Fustat. Dated: last decade of Iyyar 1431 Seleucid, which is April 1120 CE. Settlement between Amat al-Qādir Sitt al-Gharb, the wife of Sitt al-Milāḥ Yosef, and her sister Qurrat al-ʿAyn Sitt al-Milāḥ, the widow of Abū Yaʿqūb known as Ibn Naḥum. The two women are the daughters of Abū l-Faḍl Shela b. Shelomo Ibn al-Qaṭāʾif. The legal case concerns the inheritance from both their father and mother - they divide their father's house between them equally. A different court document, also written in last decade of Iyyar 1431 Sel., concerning the leasing of Sitt al-Milāḥ's half of the house by her brother-in-law, Sitt al-Milāḥ (T-S 16.356 + Moss. VII,116.3 - PGPID 7492). The two sisters also agree here about the woodrn beams, which are a source of dispute in ENA 2558.9 (PGPID 11557).
