Description

Legal document. In which Hārūn and Nissim agree to repay the 11 dinars they owe to Benaya within a certain period, and if they do not, they will owe 10 dinars to the qodesh. Mentions business in Fustat and Alexandria and a list of commodities involved: storax (מאיעה for מיעה), saffron, labdanum (lādan), and perhaps even a book by al-Qāḍī al-Tanūkhī (Abū ʿAlī al-Muḥassin b. ʿAlī al-Tanūkhī of Baṣra, d. 994)—but this needs further examination.
