Description

Legal record of the same case on the recto, which offers us an alternative vantage point against which we may evaluate the narrative imposed on this woman’s actions in the communal leader’s letter. Apparently, the wife (we now learn that her name was Saʿīda bt. David) was discontent with the handling of her case in her home town and travelled to the capital seeking justice. (Information from Oded Zinger, Women, Gender, and Law (PhD diss), 65–66).
