Verso: A cryptic note in Arabic script referring to "al-mamlūk al-ʿĀḍidī al-ʿĀdilī and the ghulām of someone called "al-muntaṣib(?) al-Sijilmāsī." The epithet al-ʿĀḍidī presumably refers to someone in the service of the caliph al-ʿĀḍid (r. 1160–71). The epithet al-ʿĀdilī is less clear; the vizier Ibn al-Sallār was known as al-ʿĀdil, however he died in 1154.

Petition to the caliph al-Āmir (1101–30) from a woman attempting to collect a large debt of 241 dinars on the estate of a deceased person. The deceased debtor, the sharīfa Ṭāhira, known as Sitt al-Ḥasab, is the daughter of al-sharīf al-amīr Zaʿīm al-Khilāfa wa-Fakhruhā who, to judge by his titles and by his daughter's name, was very close to the ruling family. The petition notes that the petitioner (called “the slave") "has registered the documents with the amount of the debt in the noble judicial court” (fa-qad athbatat al-mamlūka al-ḥujaj bi-mablagh al-dayn fī majlis al-ḥukm al-sharīf), so this is significant evidence both for judicial archives and possibly for the existence of Ismāʿīlī courts, because a regular judicial institution would probably not be called al-sharīf.

in Arabic script addressed to "al-Shaykh al-Rayyis al-Muwaffaq." There is a version of a raʾy clause (والراي ما يراه المولى). The sender says he is waiting for the addressee in the house and emphasizes on investigating or registering something "wa al-maṣlaḥa ithbāt hādhā al-ʾamr". Seems like the problem is the price of something and if that decreases, its demand will rise "idhā infasakha saʿruhu yaqʿa al-ṭamʿ". There is a tarjama in the right corner "al-mamlūk................. al-Nuʿmān". Needs further examination.

Recto: A private petition/letter in Arabic script from ʿAbdallāh b. Ṣāʿid to the son of al-Shaykh al-Thiqa, in Minyat Ziftā Jawād. Most of the addressee's honorifics (al-ḥaḍra al-sāmiya al-ajalliyya al-ʿāliyaal-shaykhiyya al-sadīda al-saʿdiyya) are fairly routine; al-saʿdiyya is less common and may indicate that his name is Abū Saʿd or something like that. […] Verso: Underneath the address, there are jottings consisting of the drawing of an elephant, a scale of justice, and a quotation from an Arabic poem of al-Zawzanī (d. 1039) transcribed into Hebrew letters, followed by a quotation from the Mishnah.

Letter in Ladino to Yehuda Gatenio, from a business partner in Alexandria, dated 10 August 1823 (3 Elul 5583 AM). Deals entirely with business transactions; Yehuda is to send something to Shelomo Naḥm__[?] and perhaps the letter writer in Alexandria: who states "the ship is in Alexandria."

Looks like an account mentioining fabric goods (mandīl, shuqqa, and fūṭa) and alsoAlexandria, but at the bottom "wa-l-nāʾib(?) bi-smī Tamīm [...]," and the scribe is large and reminiscent of a chancery hand. There are also a few words written upside down.

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Draft of a letter written either by Avraham Maimonides or his son David I Maimonides (their hands are almost identical). The fact that the opening phrase (גרץ תסטירהא etc.) is identical to that of T-S 16.343 (PGPID 7489) may tilt the probability in favor of David being the writer. The letter is probably addressed to a physician known as al-Rashīd ("al-ḥaḍra... al-ḥakīmiyya al-rashīdiyya..."). It concerns al-Shaykh al-Thiqa Hiba, perhaps Hibat[allāh b.
Verso:
