Court notebook, probably. There are three legal records on this folio, each one in a different hand. Record #1: Recto contains a detailed narrative concerning the disposition of the estate of the brother of Naḥum b. Yaʿaqov who was killed in a different country. The government confiscated his property, but it seems that Naḥum was able to liberate some or all of it, including indigo and other goods which he is selling off. The murdered brother left a minor son. Needs further examination. Record #2: The first document on verso is a remarriage contract (ketubba) for Fuḍayl b. Efrayim and his divorcee Ḥasana bt. Yūsuf. Location: Fustat. Dated: 26 Adar 1378 Seleucid, which is 1067 CE. (T-S 16.357 is their marriage contract from two years earlier.) Witnesses are: Ḥalfon b. Shabbat ha-Ḥazzan; Natan b. Avraham; and the well known judge ʿEli b. ʿAmram. Record #3: The second document on verso is a bill of divorce. Location: Fustat. Dated: Tuesday, 24 Sivan 1378 Seleucid, which is 1067 CE. Husband: Ṣadaqa b. Abū Naṣr. Wife: Khalīfa bt. Moshe. The name of ʿEli b. ʿAmram ('ha-shaliaḥ ha-maẓliaḥ') appears in the last line, but the handwriting is different from what appears to be ʿEli b. ʿAmram's own signature, just above this document.
