Two bifolios from a ledger of accounts concerning ships departing from Egypt. In Judaeo-Arabic. Appears closely related to ENA 3730.2 (PGPID 39645) dating to 1534/35 CE and ENA 2898.3 + ENA 2898.4 (PGPID 12533) dating to 1540 CE, but there are discrepancies of handwriting and spelling. These fragments may all be from the same ledger but in the hand of two different scribes. Each page specifies a ship and its name or owner, its captain, its destination (4 for Istanbul, 1 for Antalya, 1 for somewhere in the Levant, and at least 1 undeciphered), the date of departure, the names of people associated with the ship, and commodities and their values. Commodities include pepper, sugar, indigo, and it seems slaves (עביד). Joins: Alan Elbaum and Matthew Dudley.
