Legal record (#109) in a court register/pinqas from a Karaite beit din in Cairo (on f. 36r of Yevr.-Arab. I 328). Dated 17 Shevat 5326 AM (1566 CE). Brief entry stating that Farjallah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥīm Kohen Shuqayr and [...] bt. Yiṣḥaq Fayrūz married each other before two witnesses, but this is clearly not a ketubba nor does it follow common formulae in other entries from the same court register (except the neighboring record #110). These two documents may be in a distinct scribal hand compared to nearby entries on surrounding folios. Intriguingly, the scribe notes that the "ʿāqid (rabbi officiant) was Moshe ha-Nashiyā in the residence of the Rabbanite Ibn Ṣor [located] at the start of al-Mudawwar Street." Although none of the people named directly in the entry are Rabbanite, it seems that wedding may have taken place in a property owned by a Rabbanite community member in Cairo. For other references to the street Darb al-Mudawwar in the city's Jewish quarter, see: Yevr.-Arab. II 1389 (PGPID 27932), Yevr.-Arab. II 1398 (PGPID 27940). MCD.
