Legal document: T-S J1.42

Description

Legal document, draft or copy. No signatures. In Judaeo-Arabic. Mevasser b. Shelomo al-Ṣayrafī presents an itemized list of goods which he sent to the Maghrib in partnership with ʿArūs b. Yosef, for which ʿArūs b. Yosef now owes him money. ʿArūs claims that he has fully settled all accounts. If ʿArūs proves to be lying, then he will be considered accursed and will not earn merit (? יכון בכלל ארור לא יזכר). In the upper left corner there are two names pertaining to a different document: Meshullam ha-Kohen b. Yosef and Ghaniyya bt. [...]. The accounts continue on verso in Arabic script. Lists goods such as pepper, bamboo chalk (ṭabāshīr), a large and heavy ruby (ḥajar yāqūt kabīr thaqīl), silver, coral, a thawb. Mentions an Abū Saʿd as well. Aodeh dates it to ca. 1030 based on the appearance of an Avraham ha-Levi b. Yaḥyā both here and in ENA NS 17.22, but most likely these are two different people. NB: Aodeh cites this document as T-S J2.42, but its current shelfmark is T-S J1.42.
