Description

Three distinct documents in Arabic script, chopped in half vertically and then probably glued together into a rotulus in order to be reused for the Hebrew liturgical or literary text found on recto. 1) Deed of lease (hādhā mā istaʾjara Ṣāliḥ b. Ismāʿīl b. ʿAlī b. Muḥammad....). Dated: 484 AH = 1091/92 CE. 2) State or legal document with a registration note at upper left (uthbita fī dīwān al-ishrāf bi-Miṣr). Also concerning the same Ṣāliḥ b. Ismāʿīl b. ʿAlī. Later on mentions ʿAbd al-Muʿṭī. 3) Deed of acknowledgment (iqrār). The name of the person making the acknowledgment (the muqirr) appears in l. 2 followed by a physical description (... wāḍiḥ al-jabha...). In lines 4–5, the same Ṣāliḥ b. Ismāʿīl b. ʿAlī from the previous two documents appears. Needs further examination.
