Recto

  1. ويقوم بالجزية الواجبة عليه ومبلغها فى السنة دينار واحد وثلث وربع ودرهم

  2. وفي اكثر اوقاته يتعذر عليه تغليقها الى ان يتصدق له من اليهود اهل طائفته

  6. his imprisonment and the wasting away of himself and of his family through hunger and isolation, through fear of being demanded to pay what he cannot

  7. afford. Far be it from these glorious days that an impecunious, blind man
