Dating: 1050–55 CE, based on the likely identifications of Ḥaydara and Khaṭīr al-Mulk. "The extortion of payments of the capitation tax in advance is thus far known from Geniza records only for Palestine and for the second quarter of the eleventh century, a period of anarchy and misrule. […] Another ruler (shaliṭ) came to power this year, named Ḥaydara Dhakhīrat al-Dawla (appears also in T-S K25.249 in 1031 CE). […] The requests were accepted and the decree was issued by Khatīr al-Mulk (=the son of al-Yāzūrī, or possibly al-Yāzūrī himself; see Yaacov Lev, Administration of Justice in Medieval Egypt, p. 145)\.
