Deed of release. Location: Fustat. Dated: Adar II 1461 Seleucid, with the signing deferred until Tammuz 1461 Seleucid, which is 1150 CE, under the authority of the Nagid Shemuel b. Ḥananya. Avraham b. Ṣedaqa says that his mother-in-law loaned 7 dinars to Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm al-Najīb b. Yaḥyā Ibn al-ʿAnānī. Now, Avraham acknowledges that he has been repaid by Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm and the latter's sister. The debt was contracted before Avraham married into the family. He now releases Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm and the latter's sister from any claims, whether on his own part or on the part of his wife Sitt al-Jamīʿ or his mother-in-law the wife of Karīm who is the paternal uncle of Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm. Interestingly the document ends with a Judaeo-Arabic formula (תאבת צחיח ומסתתם) in lieu of the customary Aramaic formula (שריר ובריר וקיים). Witnesses: Ṣemaḥ b. Shemuel ha-Kohen; Naḥum(?) b. Moshe ha-Levi. On verso there are a couple undeciphered words in Arabic script.
