Description

Court proceedings (possibly in draft form) from January/February of 1182, involving Ibn Ibrahim and Abu Zikri b. Atiyya. The mention of 'lie' (line 6) and 'one of them threatened me' (right margin) suggests that the matter at hand was some sort of dispute. Regarding the use of qadh instead of qad in line 4 see J. Blau, Dictionary of Mediaeval Judaeo-Arabic Texts (Jerusalem: 2006), p. 535 as well as his Studies in Middle Arabic (Jerusalem: 1988), p. 212.
