Description

Accounts in Arabic script, in large letters with wide line spacing. Reminiscent of state accounts, but likely private. E.g., "Owed by Ibn al-Kaʿkī...." Various dates are mentioned, including 537 AH = 1142/43 CE. Also refers to the rent paid by a deceased man. The second row of T-S AS 132.176 mentions ambergris; the third row begins "wa-ayḍan," and the fifth row looks like it mentions "the shroud of the mother" (fī kafan al-wālida), but this is probably wrong. Reused on recto for Hebrew/Aramaic seliḥa in the hand of a prolific scribe (see e.g. T-S Misc.22.69 (PGPID 23329) and Joins Suggestions on FGP). Fols. 1 and 3 join of T-S H5.119 join; fol. 2 is a small unrelated fragment with unidentified Arabic script (with a bit of Hebrew). (Information in part from CUDL.) Joins: Alan Elbaum
