Opening with blessings and ending with various greetings, including to al-Raʾīs R. […] Reused on verso for accounts in Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals. On verso mentions Abū l-ʿAlāʾ al-Zajjāj (the glassmaker; possibly the same as in JRL Series A 1043 (PGPID 5207)); it is not entirely clear if this is part of the letter or part of the accounts.

From a ledger of donations arranged by the parshiyot of the year 1803/1804 (5564); most of the ledger ended up in Paris, but this fragment ended up in Manchester. In fact, this segment of JRL Series B and AIU.VII.F seem to have been acquired from the same stratum of the Genizah and then sorted by genre (in this case, accounts and donation lists)

Judaeo-Arabic, Ladino

Accounts in a mixture of Ladino and Judaeo-Arabic. The dating is post-1517, 16th- or 17th-century, based on the paleography and mention of Ottoman titles. Many of the accountentries are terse, bearing solely names and numerical figures, but the second line of the recto states in Ladino: "el muchacho de Qāsim Beğ" (איל מוגאגו די קאסם ביג). Several other entries on the recto also name individuals with the Ottoman title çavuş, such as: Muḥammad Çavuş and Ferḥat Çavuş.

Primary language

Ladino

Accounts in Ladino listed in western Arabic numerals. Dates are provided at the bottom of each entry and indicate what is most likely the year [54]92. The months Temuz and Tevet are also listed which helps to date this fragment as January-July 1732CE, which aligns closely with the join ENA NS 39.2. On the recto of ENA NS 27.7, the first entry also mentions one Moshe Ḥason "חסון" (l. 5r), whose name is repeated on the verso (l. 3v).

A third possibility which Goitein does not mention—it may refer to the Muʾminī dinars minted by ʿAbd al-Muʾmin, the founder of the Almohad dynasty, and this exchange rate of 52.67:100 would be plausible based on information from Ibn Jubayr (e.g. https://shamela.ws/book/11203/26). If this is the correct reading, the letter probably dates to around the second half of the 12th century.

22 Heshvan 5496 Anno Mundi (7 November 1735 CE)

Accounts and calculations in Ladino which may be in silver reales based on the note at the bottom of the verso "kuento de los reales". On the recto, one of the entries on the left side appears to offer the date 22 Heshvan 5496 (November 1735CE) and the entry below that is 30 Cheshvan. Then on the right side of the recto, the next entry passes into the subsequent month Kislev, which is in a difficult cursive hand but legible as a date with 5496 alongside it.

List of accounts in Judeo-Arabic in which each heading is marked by elongated ligatures either as extensions of final letters or as independent lines drawn to indicate a new section of itemized entries. The figures for entries are alphanumerical and on the recto the first heading is labeled "אלמביע" indicating a sale perhaps to various individuals, among them "Yehuda al-Qara / יהודה אלקרה" is mentioned (l.2r). Similar to this fragments join, we also find a heading on the recto where "masruf/משרופ" (l.10r) appears in indicating expenses (though it's important to note that this is a less common spelling given that the word is often rendered "מצרופ" in Judeo-Arabic). The same accounting format continues on the verso. MCD.
