Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
וגר ואלדה — maybe identifying Yosef as a guarantor or tax farmer and that "he dragged his father" before Abū Saʿd. The last line is also cryptic — והו אלדי כאן מתמסך בואלדה — "he was the one who held tight to his father."

Primary language
Hebrew
The manner in which the document refers to the bride's name (אמה אלקאדר אסתר הקרואה אסתר) is a clear example of how the formulaic name Esther was applied to Karaite female nomenclature regardless of their given names (also Esther in this case). A wide variety of early modern Karaite marital documents use the same formula.

This was enough to pay the debts as well as buy an alternative ruined property behind the synagogue. The boundaries of the sold plot are described – from the south the road which leads to the ḥammām and the suwayqa, and the darb qaḍīb; from the north a house known by Ibn Irāqī; from the east the road (darb) in which it is located, and three of its gates; from the west it opens to the alley (zuqāq) Ibn Ghādī and its fourth, secret gate. […] Then the text describes the events mentioned in the first entry: the debt, the sale of the the third of the endowed property known by the shaykh Elia (here called Elia al-mutatabib b. shemu'el) to the physician David b. […] Yeshūʿah=Faraj, Peraḥya=Surūr). Those signed also attest that they recognize the hand writing of "their head, David" on the margins of the original deed (line 17).
