They are both describing a convoluted case involving a Muslim named Muḥammad al-Wakīl and the Jews Yaʿqūb and his companion and perhaps a dairy maker or bricklayer (al-Labbān).

[…] These two testimonies are from Kislev, and the third is from Tishrei and in different handwriting, meaning it was from the following year at earliest, and perhaps several years later.

The repeated word "כוכייה" may signify the color "peach" or "plum" for other types of cloth. Lastly, the word "סאייא" is likely an erratic spelling of the Ottoman Turkish word "صايا" (saya), which has various cloth-related meanings connected to wool, shoe uppers, and embroidered waistcoats (Redhouse, Ottoman Turkish Dictionary, 989).

In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Late 11th century or early 12th century, based on Goitein's assessment. The letter relates that after the death of the writer's father, his brother Fahd, who worked in the local mint, had been deceived by a newcomer Abū Manṣūr Baghdādī. It further discusses large sums of money (hundreds of dinars) owed or handled by a man who was found dead on the seashore.

The writer accompanied her to the ṣarf, where it turned out that the money the Nagid (sayyidnā) had given her was 5 qirats short of the 4 dinars, and the writer had no money, whether rubāʿīs or dirhams, with which to pay the balance. Her brother-in-law and David al-Najjār then accosted the writer in the market and 'cried out' (istaghātha) against him, saying that they won't pay a penny until they see the woman's documents. The writer asks the addressee to send the documents with her—and possibly the remaining 5 qirats (verso)—so that everyone will be spared "their evil" (of the brother-in-law and David al-Najjār; this reading is not completely clear).

The letter is fragmentary and the full context is lacking. Mentions the writing of a petition (ruqʿa), then officials including [...] al-Riyāsa Ḥaydara, then "they were standing before us and arranged for us on Monday another session (majlis) in the antechamber (dihlīz), and they were the ones who advised the governor (wālī), so I gave a petition to the master of the veil (ṣāḥib al-sitr)...." Dating is uncertain; likely 11th century, but it is worth noting that "dihlīz" became a term for the military tent where the sultan would receive petitioners beginning in the late Ayyubid period (see A. Fuess, "Between dihlīz and dār al-ʿadl: Forms of outdoor and indoor royal representation at the Mamluk court in Egypt," in Court Cultures in the Muslim World, 2011).
