Description

List of names and corresponding monetary values for payments in medin and silver kuruş (the latter is written as a "ق" interjected occasionally in the left numerical column). Based on the paleography it is possible to estimate the dating of this fragment as 18th- or 19th-century. A variety of widows are listed here, but the letter נ has been systematically dropped from the common Hebrew word אלמנה: i.e. the widow of Ḥazaq (אלמת חזק), the widow of Molkho (אלמת מולכו), the widow of Av[raham] אלמגכר, the widow of Sheḥata al-Kohen, and others. MCD.
