Verso: Fragment of a document in Arabic, possibly a Mamlūk-era letter, report, or petition. Compare with ENA 3910.1 (PGPID 32753)." Requires further examination.

Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic mentioning a variety of names, many of which may bear signs of Greek linguistic influence on ENA 3735.10. […] The related neighboring fragment ENA 3735.11 features more names: Maḥmūd Jalabi (Çelebi), Maḥ[mūd]/Muḥ[ammad] Ṭarabulusī, and others. The commodity iron חדיד appears in connection with the name Maḥmūd Jalabi. The heading of ENA 3735.11 may feature a full date but the year is badly effaced.

Uses the phrase ודמר אעדאה for "may God destroy your enemies," otherwise found only in the letters of Khalaf b. […] The sender checked the accounting in the "tawqīʿ" (typically a term for a government decree/rescript but this appears to be a different usage) and confirms that the addressee still has a credit of 3 fīlīs and 2 fanams corresponding to 3 Malikī dinars.

Verso: Engagement agreement in Hebrew. Date: 8 Kislev 5459 AM (November 1698 CE). The recto contains accounts in Judaeo-Arabic from the first of Tūt of the Hijrī year 1126 AH, (1715 CE) and thus represents the later instance of reuse. […] One of the witnesses is listed as Shelomo Zaraḥīya (who was likely not the scribe given that he is listed as ע׳׳ב=עד 2=second witness). This engagement document was perhaps a draft of the final version issued to the prospective bride/groom and/or a draft of what was entered into a court register.
