The addressee didn't honor the order and hence the sender rebukes him the rebuke of friends "fa-aʿtibhu ʿatb al-aṣdiqāʾ". The last two lines are difficult to contextualize but an attempted interpretation could be - with the command of the overseer of his business/accounts, someone wrote from the dīwān regarding what is obligatory on the different types of taxes.

Friday, 14 Nisan 5532 Anno Mundi (17 April 1772 CE)
Primary languages
Aramaic, Hebrew
There is an extensive dowry list with a variety of unidentified material cultural terms spanning Judaeo-Spanish, Judaeo-Arabic, and perhaps additional languages (esp. Persian and Turkish). Some of the known items include: a kaftan robe, two ṭarbūsh hats, a Rūmī cushion (kavesal), among other items. Besides the original filing note on the verso, there is a curious numerical designation "No. 24" in ink that was probably added at a later date. This numbering system requires further examination in connection with any prior CUL shelfmarks because it may represent a numbering system used by a manuscript dealer or collector before entering Cambridge University Library collections.
