Verso: Partnership contract. In Hebrew. Dated: Thursday, 24 Tammuz 1298 Seleucid, which is 23 June 987 CE. Yosef b. Yaʿaqov and ʿEli b. Qimoy each contribute two units of money with which they will trade. Goitein notes that as ʿEli b. Qimoy must have been very rich (see his ketubba, T-S 16.70, from 995 CE), this partnership was a form of philanthropy/charity. (Information from Goitein's notes.) Alternate description: Verso: Legal document. Partnership agreement. Dated: June 987. Location: Fustat. Joseph b. Jacob and ‘Alī b. Qīmoī each place two silver coins in a common purse; each will transact with discretion in unnamed commodities. The document is incomplete and unsigned; the clauses concerning distribution of profits and losses, if any, are not preserved. ‘Ali b. Qīmoī is known from his marriage-document (see T-S 16.70, PGPID 4091). (Information from Lieberman, "A Partnership Culture", 114)
