Description
Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic mentioning a variety of names, many of which may bear signs of Greek linguistic influence on ENA 3735.10. Early modern dating based on the paleography. Among those listed on 3735.10 are: Nicolo Fosṭūlī[?], Dmetri Fosṭūlī[?], Tragos[?] Fosṭūlī, Nicola Fetnos[?], Mikhail Rais Napoli[?] or Risnopoli (רייסנפולי), and others. If the latter name is indeed Mikhail Rais (Ship Captain) then the reference may be to Naples (Napoli[?]). Based on the other appearances of רייס on the same page, this reading seems feasible.

The commodity iron חדיד appears in connection with the name Maḥmūd Jalabi. The heading of ENA 3735.11 may feature a full date but the year is badly effaced. MCD.
