Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic
Everyone is dying of hunger because "I only buy the bread of the market." He then cites the maxim that the poor of your household precede the poor of your city who precede the poor of another city, "So consider me as the poor of your household."
Ever since my eldest son has been with me I have been unable (to pay) for him as well as for myself and the younger one. By the Torah, I owe three hundred dirhems which I borrowed at interest to marry off my son. I cannot sit another day in the house; otherwise every one here will die of hunger.

Shelomo has gone to great lengths to collect the debt, but in the end, all he got was five dinars, only two of them full dinars, the rest Sicilian quarter-dinars, some clipped. He describes it as "not the kind of sum for which one gets a suftaja," which is interesting from the point of view of financial practices.

some good, some old and clipped. If I could agree with someone right now
