Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic
A group of people, including another physician named al-Shaykh al-Muhadhdhab, came to visit the patient and found al-Sadīd attending him. […] The third episode (r45–end): A certain judge (qāḍī al-ḥukm) was seriously ill (marīḍ bi-maraḍ shadīd), and al-Muhadhdhab was attending him "[against] his will and not for his good." […] Al-Sadīd came and spoke to the slave, and then came back with something to give to the slave—and the story ends here, unless the join is found. This document is possibly related to Bodl.

Primary language

The current ENA NS 77.168 consists of three fragments (evidently joined by someone working with the JTS collection) previously named ENA NS 77.7, ENA NS 77.16, and ENA NS 77.17. The current ENA NS 77.167 was previously named ENA NS 77.18. It seems that these old shelfmarks were reassigned to new fragments, so the current fragments named ENA NS 77.7 and ENA NS 77.16–18 are unrelated to this document.

Two legal queries addressed to Avraham Maimonides (Nagid) with his autograph responsa (r. 1205-1237 CE as Rayyis al-Yahūd and also with the title Nagid after 1213 CE): (I) concerning a man from Alexandria, married with children, who took an enslaved woman and lives with her as his concubine in the Fayyūm, abandoning his family in Alexandria. […] Separately, is it permissible for a bachelor to cohabit with an enslaved woman? The answer: It is forbidden for a man to live alone with an enslaved woman, and if he does so, he should be excommunicated by name until he removes her from his home.
