Acknowledgment of debt? Concerns the late Abū Saʿd, who willed half of 50 bales (of flax) to his partner and brother Eliyya and the other half to the two children (Miryam and Abū l-Ḥasan) of his sister Sitt al-Ahl. Gershon Weiss (who did not know about the join with T-S 12.571) explains that Abū l-Ḥasan Eliyyahu, the nephew and likely partner of Abū Saʿd, testified that the latter's will instructed that his inheritance of bales of flax would go to Eliyyahu's mother and sister. Eliyyahu acted as executor of Abū Saʿd's will; he and the beneficiaries agreed that the inheritance would be paid in installments.

(Here the first page of the manuscript breaks off. On the reverse side the remainders of six lines are preserved, which despite their entirely fragmentary character are not without interest. Line 2:) "... much from the sea," alluding probably to the fact that many of the goods were salvaged, as happened often with ships foundering near the seashore.
