Description

Legal document. Location: Fustat. Dated: 20 Shevaṭ 1354 Seleucid = 3 February 1043 CE. Written and signed by the cantor Yefet b. David b. Shekhanya. Also signed by Shelomo b. Zakhar. The document itself involves Yona b. Shelomo, [...] Saʿīd, and Husn bt. Binyamin, and two girls named Zayn bt. S[...] and Turkiyya. Possibly some of the adults are agreeing to take care of the girls. Goitein's index card suggests that these are the daughters of Yefet b. David himself (the document does refer to a cantor). On verso there are a few lines of Judaeo-Arabic accounts (also in the hand of Yefet b. David). Expenses for 1 week (Friday thorugh Thursday): chickens 3, olive oil 1 1/8.
