These two fragments are part of single document containing a partnership release and renewal. Amat al-Qādir, widow of Shela, and her son Yefet (possibly a minor), release ʿArūs b. Yosef from a partnership he had with Shela. Amat al-Qādir seems to be acting as trustee for her son, but also seems to have a financial interest in the partnership; since she would not have ordinarily inherited from her husband, her equity in the partnership may represent payment of her ketubba. […] This document was mistakenly identified as a join with T-S 10J5.2 (PGPID 26426) in Goitein, Med Soc III (viii,C,3, n. 24), and it was also treated as such in Lieberman, "A Partnership Culture," 122.
