Description

Contract of debt. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. Location: Fustat. Dated: The case came before the court in the last decade of Kislev 1438 Seleucid, which is December 1126 CE, but the deed was written and signed in the first decade of Ṭevet (so anywhere from 1 day to 20 days later). Berakhot b. Saʿadya acknowledges that he owes 32 dinars to Abū Isḥāq Avraham b. Sason, a perfumer (al-ʿAṭṭār) from al-Maḥalla (al-Maḥallī). He promises to pay by Passover. The fragment is torn above the part where the witness signatures would have been. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.) Join: Alan Elbaum. ENA 2558.1 + ENA 4011.46 (PGPID 6621) and Moss. VII,71 (PGPID 2751) are two copies of the same document.
