Manṣur handed him (Menashshe) some dinars to weigh, and Menashshe found among them 15 or 17 ʿAdliyya dinars, which frightened him, as such coins weren't available to the public. He weighed them and handed them to the Muslims in payment for the flax, and later asked one of the Muslims to exchange three or four of the dinars with him, despite his earlier fear. […] Manṣūr replied: "I told him that I didn't have any more of these coins, but had borrowed them from my brother," Maʿālī.

Some accounts are related to building expenses(?). One entry on the verso mentions a Jewish legal "apotropos" guardianship for an orphan "אפוטרופוס יתום נעים" (based on the manner in which other names are written in these accounts "Naʿīm" is likely a firstname). […] The mention of the latter coinage type makes it possible to estimate this document's dating as post-1425 CE (which matches the 15th-16th-century paleography).

27 Tevet 5566 Anno Mundi (17 January 1806 CE)
The calculations cover a wide array of coinage types such as "נמס קטעה / Austria coin" and the Ottoman gold "פנדוקלי / fındıklı". When this wide variation in coinage types is read in connection with the heading's opening words "עלם צאפי / purity notice" it seems that this document may have been issued by a money assayer.

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Verso: Accounts with various types of coinage and goods mentioned. Likely dating to the sixteenth century on the basis of numismatic evidence. Two of the accounts mention "Brahīmī" coinage alongside bunduqī (gold ducats) and fiḍḍa (possibly medin). The term "Brahīmī" could be a reference to coinage that was minted during or after Avraham Castro's tenure as overseer of the Ottoman mint in Cairo (1520-1524 CE).
