Verso: Engagement agreement in Hebrew. Date: 8 Kislev 5459 AM (November 1698 CE). The recto contains accounts in Judaeo-Arabic from the first of Tūt of the Hijrī year 1126 AH, (1715 CE) and thus represents the later instance of reuse. […] One of the witnesses is listed as Shelomo Zaraḥīya (who was likely not the scribe given that he is listed as ע׳׳ב=עד 2=second witness). This engagement document was perhaps a draft of the final version issued to the prospective bride/groom and/or a draft of what was entered into a court register.
