Recto: Bill of release. Dating: 1094–1111 CE, as it was written during the period in which Mevorakh b. Seʿadya was known as Sar ha-Sarim (this is found in the margin, and in the related document T-S 12.94). (CUDL dates the document to 1066 CE, but this cannot be correct, since Meshullam b. Hiba Ibn al-Shuwaykiyya was still alive in 1091 CE per ENA 4020.47.) In which Shemuel b. Aharon reaches a settlement (ṣulḥ) and releases Nissim b. Meshullam and his brother Ṣedaqa b. Meshullam, along with their mother Bahiyya bt. Ḥalfon, from any debts incurred by their deceased father Abū l-ʿAlā Meshullam b. Hiba known as Ibn Shuwaykiyya ("the little artichoke"). Shemuel b. Aharon’s agent is Yosef b. Ṣedaqa. The document and its drafts are possibly in the hand of the parnas ʿEli b. Hayyim/Yaʿīsh ha-Kohen. There are at least four related fragments: T-S 12.94, T-S 10J5.13, and T-S 13J37.9 + T-S AS 146.157 (PGPID 8104), which may be a draft of the same document or of (an)other document(s) related to the same case.
