Recto: Legal testimony. Dated: February-March 1160. In the hand of Hillel b. Zadoq, Av Bet Din. Abū al-Surūr Peraḥya b. Tiqva successfully sues for the right of disposal of five dinars which are already in his possession and are owed him out of the partnership assets of Abū Naṣr b. Khalaf and Abū al-Ḥasan b. Abū al-Waḥsh. The court demanded that Peraḥya provide a "guarantor" (Abū Sahl al-Tājir al-Levi b. Yosef ha-Levi b. Ayyūb), allowing the court to allocate the funds from the partnership to Peraḥya while the partnership accounting was ongoing. The funds then became Peraḥya’s free and clear. Peraḥya's demand that funds be released from the partnership and not from a specific individual who deposited them suggests that the partnership had a corporate identity. When Peraḥya sues Abū Naṣr and Abū al-Ḥasan, he sues them as participants in a partnership who have joint and total responsibility towards Peraḥya. The relationship of the two partners to one another may thus be similar to the "guarantor" relationship between Peraḥya and Abū Sahl. Witnesses: Hillel b. Ẓadoq Av Bet Din and Nathan b. Shemuel ha-Ḥaver. (Information from Lieberman, "A Partnership Culture", 39) Verso: Dowry list. Bride: Sitt al-Banāt bt. Yusuf. Groom: Mevorakh b. Abū ʿAlī. Early marriage payment: 10 dinars. Delayed marriage payment: 30 dinars. ASE.

- Abū al-Surūr Peraḥya b. Tiq[va] known as (I)bn al-Am‘aṭ came before us—we, the court—
- and in his hand were five dina(rs). He said that they were from the sum total
- of the document which was a partnership (shirka) between Abū Naṣr b. Khalaf and Abū al-Ḥasan
- b. Abū al-Waḥsh. He demanded that he have the right of disposal therein.
- His excellency our lord, “Israel’s chariots and horsemen”, demanded of him one who would stand guarantor for this
- amount. He left and summoned the Elder Abū Sahl al-Tājir
- ha-Levi b. master Joseph ha-Levi b. Job (who) r(ests in) E(den), and he guaranteed this amount

- It is from the total therein. When we heard their aforementioned testimony thus
- the aforementioned was mentioned concerning this Abū Sahl ha-Levi, all of the aforementioned five

- from the sum total of the aforementioned obligation. And we wrote and signed concerning what was before us.
