Undated, but likely c. 1560 CE based on the dates in neighboring entries from the court register. Shemuʾel b. Yaʿaqov al-Levi al-[Yeru]shalmī(?)

In a later entry of the same court register a certain Shemuʾel al-Levi al-Qudsī is listed as one of the residents of qodesh properties (PGPID 41042 ll. 15-16), which could be the same person if his name is indeed Shemuʾel al-Levi al-[Yeru]shalmī(?)
