This fragment is therefore serving the same purpose of communal recordkeeping as surrounding shelfmarks that also record Shabbat donations such as JRL SERIES C 77 and JRL SERIES C 93. This particular shelfmark is not a join to these two others, however, because the scribal hand and layout are distinct and it's even possible that red ink was used here but has since faded. With future research the names of those listed may help ascertain a specific dating estimate: (recto) Yiṣḥaq Gabbay[?][…] , Eliyahu Abu-ʿAsl, Salmūn Simḥon, Moshe Jūnīd, Saʿad Wahba, Av[raham] Benyamīn, Yaʿacov ʿAkūbas, Ḥayyīm Raṣon, Yiṣḥaq Dayyan, Yosef Levi, Avraham al-Rukī[?], Yosef Nadda[?], Maʿatūk Ḥadad, Ḥayyīm Sāhl, Mūsa Dhabaḥ, Ḥayyīm Mosseri, Yosef Mosseri, Nissīm Dayyan, Bakhor[?]
