Primary languages
Arabic, Greek/Coptic Numerals, Judaeo-Arabic
Right side of recto: calculations in Greek/Coptic numerals. Upper left of recto: list of sums owed to a certain Abū Saʿd, including 25 dirhams for two jizya payments (13 and 11 wariq dirhams respectively) and one onion (1 dirham). In turn, Abū Saʿd owes the debtor 7.5 dirhams "for the wage of three weeks," meaning the debtor owes him a total of 17.5 dirhams. […] The fact that he borrowed money for two capitation tax payments also suggests a poor man dependent on the community. Lower left of recto: a jingle about glory (ʿizz): "He who glorifies seeks glory; the glorious one has glory; there is no glory for the glorifier if he glorifies without glory."

9557State documentENA NS 36.4
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
It seems to be discussing two men - one is a dhimmī man named Natan, who is poor and oppressed, and the addressee (the sultan?) […] Natan's father was apparently the tax farmer (ʿāmil) of al-Khaḍra, and Natan's mother left a large inheritance of 200,000 medins, however it seems the rich man has gotten his hands on the inheritance, simultaneously defrauding the government and leaving Natan impoverished. […] The document goes on to describe the sources of wealth of the rich man and his family members and associates. On verso (ll. 7–8), it states that the poor man should be helped, because he wishes to "leave the religion of unbelievers" and convert to "the noble (religion of) Islam."

Primary languages
Hebrew, Ladino
Letter in Ladino by Abraham Palieche to his sister, dated 28 Elul 5324 (= 5 September 1564 CE). The address lists the destination as "אלה פלאייה דילפרונגה", which reads tentatively as "playa del fronja", the exact meaning of which remains unclear. The vav in the final word might be a different, badly damaged letter. […] From Eleazar Gutwirth, "The Family in Judeo-Spanish Genizah Letters," 212.

Letter from a trader in India to his cousin, who was also his brother-in-law, in Egypt. […] He is also angry at Mufaḍḍal, apparently another cousin, the son of a different aunt of the writer, for his behavior after the sender lost 4,000 mithqāls. The letter demonstrates the tension between the writer’s belief in the legitimacy of his extended family’s claim on his resources, on the one hand, and his anger at their irresponsible conduct. […] (Information from CUDL, from Goitein, Med. Soc., 3:35, from Krakowski, “Female Adolescence,” 166n20, from Marina Rustow and from Alan Elbaum)
