[Date, place, and parties.]

…Mr. Jekuthiel claimed

that he had sold to Joseph indigo from

the House of Raisins against clearing a sum of 40

dinars, which he, Jekuthiel, owed the Agency House of the Qadi Abu ʾl-Ṭāhir.

Mr. Joseph had guaranteed that he would settle the account

with the House of the Qadi {add: for them, in his name}. Meanwhile some time had passed, 

and “these days I was sued by the House of the Qadi

for the aforementioned amount. I request him (Joseph) now to clear me from this.”

When asked about this, Joseph replied: “I paid Mr.

Jekuthiel these 40 dinars; they were included in the 100

dinars, and no claim remains against me in this matter.”

Against this, Mr. Jekuthiel declared:

“I have received from him these 100 dinars,

but they were the price of indigo which he had bought from the House of Raisins

in addition to [indigo bought for] the aforementioned 40 dinars.”

Then Joseph, too, stated: “As to the 40 dinars

for which he sues me: The aforementioned 100 dinars

I have paid to him. Moreover, he wrote a promissory note

for 33 ⅙ dinars and one qirāṭ to Sheikh Abū Naṣr

Manṣūr b. Azhar, which he had owed him.

I shall clear him from this debt and return to him this note,

which he wrote for Sheikh Abū Naṣr. He (Jekuthiel) owes me

four dinars for occasional payments made for him. There remains a debt to him

of 2 ⅔ + ⅛ dinars. As soon as he demands payment,

I will pay in cash.” The proceedings have been written down, etc.
