Legal document T-S NS 99.73

Description

Legal document from Baghdad. In Hebrew. Probably 17th century. The date appears as חת׳׳ת לפ׳׳ק which is: 8+400+400+30+80+100=1018. It is unclear how this sum should be interpreted– perhaps as the Seleucid year 2018 = 1706/07 CE (which seems feasible based on the paleography). The content has to do with ʿĀṣī b. Maṭīra's commitment to pay a certain total each year to the community. Needs further examination.
