After 1835, this title referred to the Chief Rabbi of Istanbul, who, at least in theory, represented all Jewish subjects of the Ottoman sultan. The title appears sporadically before that date, but its connotations are neither clear nor consistent.... […] This name is close enough to that of the leading rabbi of Istanbul’s Jewish community at the time, Ḥayyim Yaʿḳov Benyakār, to make it plausible that the figure named in the loan agreement is, in fact, Benyakār, whose name could also be rendered Bāryakār, using the Aramaic bār instead of the Hebrew ben for ‘son of’. […] The potential relationship of the surnames Cara and Caro/Karo in early modern Cairo also await further research. MCD.

Hebrew
Out of the related documents, CUL Or.1080 J148 and T-S 8J7.9 must have been copied at the same time, as both contain the same interlinear insertion ("and his two sons Meshullam and Avraham") at the same place in the document. This allows reconstruction of some of the lacunae in the transcription below. Both also have accounts in Arabic script on verso. The CUL Or.1080 J148 version contains more abbreviations, while the T-S 8J7.9 version has more words written out in full. T-S NS J39 is also a very close copy. (Information in part from Goitein's index card and Med Soc 2:162, 554.)
