Description

Legal testimony. Dating: Late 11th or early 12th century. Pinḥas b. [...] claims from Tiqva b. ʿAmram a ruqʿa worth 5 dinars. Tiqva is prepared to swear on a Bible. Pinḥas releases him from the claim after he undergoes a ḥerem stam in the same session. Scribed and signed by Avraham b. Shemaʿya ha-Ḥaver. Also signed by Shelomo b. Shemuel. On verso there are pen trials (or accounts?) in Arabic script with Greek/Coptic numerals. The financial dealings of Tiqva b. ʿAmram of Ashqelon are known from several other Genizah manuscripts, including T-S 8J4.14 (dated 1098 CE) and T-S 28.4 (dated 1100 CE). (Information from Goitein's index card and CUDL.)
