Gigantic and calligraphically written account by Abū l-Bishr regarding the sale of merchandise in Ifrīqiyya from the beginning of the 11th century, probably for Yaʿaqov b. […] , and maḥlab (prunus mahaleb), a medicinal plant, plus packing, freight, tares, brokerage fees and commissions for exchanging Egyptian dinars for the Mahdī dinars apparently preferred in Ifrīqiya. Throughout the account, one feels the pressure of the active partner to explain himself to the investor and above all the necessity of keeping capital in motion: a couple of items are described as "stuck" (wāqif) because they won't sell, whereas the pearls brought half their investment in profit. […] Goitein in his unpublished notes describes this as "the large account on indigo etc. from al-Mahdiyya," whereas Gil assumes that it's from Qayrawān.
