List or table: T-S Misc.8.67 + Halper 465

Description

Secondary use: Two fragments from a list of male persons, mostly craftsmen or foreigners (Goitein surmises that they are people for whom the capitation tax was [to be] paid). Several names are preceded by ṣaḥḥa, 'paid.' Each name also ends with a line extended to the end of the column, possibly signifying that it has been paid. (Information from Mediterranean Society, II, pp. 466–67, App. B 106.) Many of the people listed bear surnames indicating their place of origin, including Baghdad, Amid (in Iraq), Aleppo, Damascus, Tiberias, Gaza, Sicily, or indicating their profession, including porter, packer, night watchman, dyer, soap maker, or mosaic craftsman. Mark Cohen's transcription of Halper 465 appears below. Some of the names on T-S Misc.8.67 are: Naṭīra b. Yosef al-Nāṭūr (the watchman); Naḥum b. Khalaf; [...] b. Baqāʾ b. Zuhayr; Nissin b. Sahlān; [...] b. Isḥāq ʿAkkāwī; Wahbān b. [...]; Wahb b. Ibrāhīm al-Mawṣilī.
