Headed: "explanation of the account of my master Abū l-Faḍl [...]." Mentions transactions in labdanum(?); cinnamon; lac; clove; red sandalwood; cardamom; Ibn Nuṣayr and Ibn ʿAzrūn; Socotran aloe; white sandalwood; the hire for a ship with Abū Saʿīd; someting "whose explanation is in another place." On verso, "and this is the explanation of the sale of the first merchandise," followed by a table of ~8 distinct items of clothing and how much they sold for. A few entries below refers to "the second" (set of merchandise) and itemizes it.
