Settlement between Amat al-Qādir Sitt al-Gharb, the wife of Sitt al-Milāḥ Yosef, and her sister Qurrat al-ʿAyn Sitt al-Milāḥ, the widow of Abū Yaʿqūb known as Ibn Naḥum. The two women are the daughters of Abū l-Faḍl Shela b. Shelomo Ibn al-Qaṭāʾif. The legal case concerns the inheritance from both their father and mother - they divide their father's house between them equally.
