Description

Instruction to Abū l-Bishr to deliver to ʿOvadya b. Shelomo ha-Kohen all that had been deposited with the court for him, after his 3 elder brothers had reclaimed their rights. A sum of 19 1/4 dinars after the boy had received maintenance. Location: Fustat. Dated: Monday, 21 Sivan 1410 Seleucid, which is June 1099 CE. Unsigned. "When the orphan came of age, the trustee was ordered to deliver to him the balance of the estate. This balance was substantiated by the acknowledgment of the receipt of the money deposited with the judge as well as by the riqāʿ (Ar.) bet din (Heb.), the orders of payment, issued by the court for the cost of the orphan's food and clothing. (Goitein, Med Soc III, p. 299 note 102.)
