List in Ladino with payments in silver medin. Dating 15th-17th century based on the paleography and the post-1415 CE currency mentioned. Each entry opens with the common formulas "mas a" or "mas para" then the names of inviduals, such as: Moshe Medina, Doña Marḥaba (without her surname), and קאקיפ? de Samarqand. The latter name may originate from a Turkic language given that Samarqand is mentioned in modern-day Uzbekistan. The historian Muḥsin ʻAlī Shūmān has found evidence in Ottoman qadi court records that a wave of Jewish refugees arrived in Cairo from Central Asia in the early 1600s, naming Uzbekistan as one of the potential points of emigration.
