India Book I, 29. Court proceedings in which the two brothers, Abū l-Faḍl Shela and Maʿālī, the sons of ʿAyyāsh, claimed certain assets of Faraḥ, who was murdered in ʿAydhāb, from a certain Abū ʿAlī. In connection with this they asked the court to register that Abū Yaʿqūb (Yosef) Lebdī had acknowledged in court a long time ago that he had no claims to these assets. Abū ʿAlī, apparently, claimed that he owed the money to Lebdi rather than to the two brothers. Dated: 1418 Seleucid = 1106/07 CE. On both recto and verso there are pen trials and writing exercises in Arabic script in a chancery hand -- the phrases are typical of state documents (e.g. imtathala al-marsūm bi-l-tawqīʿ); also mentions the name ʿAlī b. Ḥasan. On verso there is also some accounting in Judaeo-Arabic, mentioning goods related to the India trade. See also T-S 10J21.11 (PGPID 2956), another legal document relating to the same case.
