Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic
Interestingly, the court merely forbids future use of sacred objects of collateral, but does not enjoin the congregation officers to restore or place the sacred objects already taken. The court puts "under the ban" anyone who violates the decree in the future; in this context, such a ban is akin to excommunication, and would have put a violator outside the protection of the community. […] (Information from David Werner Amram's article "An Injunction of a Jewish- Egyptian Court of the Thirteenth Century" from the July 1901 issue of The Green Bag legal magazine, which also includes a full translation by Professor Richard Gottheil of Columbia University, as well as further analysis)

Each of the Ottoman forms of coinage are helpful for dating the fragment to the eighteenth or early nineteenth century (for example the kuruş was minted perhaps as early as 1690 but did not begin to appear in wide circulation until 1703CE: Pamuk, A Monetary history of the Ottoman Empire, 167). After all of the calculations have been completed there is reference to what remains, specifically "אל באקי / the remainder", which is a common term through early modern Judaeo-Arabic bookkeeping.
