303LetterJRL Genizah Ar. 309
Primary language
Arabic
The last line of the first section seems to be a verse of poetry, probably referring to separation rather than to an actual dispute: "And when God's decree persists between me and you (pl.), I will die a stranger, wa-l-salāmu ʿalaykumū." The next section begins by addressing itself to 'our beloved daughter Sarah' and continues with wishes for her good health and informing her of the writers' good health and their yearning to see her.

Bill of debt, from 1519 CE– this estimate from FGP was proposed by Avraham David on the basis of the coinage mentioned: ""תשעה ושלושים אלפים ומאתים לבנים ממטבע האדון הצולטן סלים". This reference is most likely to Ottoman akçe, which roughly translates to "לבנים/white coins" in Hebrew and Turkish. Yehuda b. Avraham known as Deloya is taking an oath to repay his debt to Yehuda b.

On the verso, two forms of Ottoman coinage are referenced along the right margin of the fragment: "sherifi" and "kurush", which are accompanied by notes in both Hebrew alphanumerical figures and eastern Arabic numerals. The presence of silver kuruş is useful in estimating the dating of the document as 18th or 19th-century– given that these coins were minted as early as 1690 but did not reach wider circulation until 1703CE (Pamuk, A Monetary History of the Ottoman Empire, 160).
