The only movable wealth that is not divided are three Torah scrolls and two sets of silver Torah finials (rimonīm)–all of which Elʿazar receives. The family's residential properties on Darb al-Ḥumṣānī are divided equally among the five brothers. […] Line 18 specifies that some of the brothers' inheritance also includes "clothing" and other possessions that their father Shemuʾel's previously "bought from the estate of" a certain Raḥamīm Arukh.

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
He refers obliquely and mockingly to Qaraite authors such as Daniʾel al-Qūmisī, Salmon b. Yeroḥam and Yefet b. ʿEli: "They see themselves as ‘lilies’ (shoshanim) and everyone else as ‘thorns’; they consider themselves ‘wise ones’ (maskilim), but they disagree as to who among them is wise.” […] Ezra 7:27], may he live forever, and into the mind of our lord the vizier, may God save him, to speak on our behalf and to seek what is good for us, may His name be elevated for all eternity.” Presumably this refers to T-S 13J7.29 (PGPID 1243), a decree of al-Ẓāhir to the governor of Palestine, Anūshtakīn al-Duzbarī, ordering him not to show partiality in his treatment of “the two parties,” a decree issued in response to a petition from the gaʾon's party. […] He sends the elders Abū l-Barakāt Netanʾel ha- Kohen and Abū ʿAlī Muḥsin b. Ḥusayn on a fact-finding mission, and the effigy story turns out to be slander; Abū ʿAlī Muḥsin b.
