Description

Legal document. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (fl. 1100–1138 CE). The first few lines and the last few lines are missing. Somebody forfeits their right to the 1/2 of the big dār located off of al-Darb al-Jadīd from the inheritance of his or her father, it seems leaving the entire house under the control of the other heirs. The document is almost entirely legalese, to the effect that this is a final and irreversible agreement. (Note that this fragment is also known as DK 318.)
