Literary text Moss. IXa,3.4

Description

Recto: Possibly a narrative, in a late 19th century hand. Mentions Sulṭān Sulaymān Khān (i.e., an Ottoman sultan, perhaps Sulaymān I). The narrative recounts events of how an olive oil producer (זיאת) was chosen from among the "people of the government" (אהל אלחכומה) to intercede with Sulṭān Sulaymān. On verso, documents (legal? receipts?) signed by Ḥayyim ʿAfīf.
