תיאור

Recto and verso (secondary use): Accounts in the hand of Nahray b. Nissim. Dating: ca. 1053. Listing flax purchases. Nahray organized the list by his partners who ordered flax and noted down for each partner how much he paid individual flax growers out of that partner’s money. Among flax growers are the judge and the preacher of a village and some Christians (Copts). The list testifies to a cooperation between Muslims and Copts in an Egyptian village. (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 2, p. 912.) Earlier description: A list of accounts with many names, mostly Muslim, including the qādī and the jahbadh (money-changer, tax-cashier, or, in older scholarship following Fischel, government banker) and some Jewish, such as Yeshu'a and Barhūm. The lists also mention Busīrī linen and money to be exchanged in the Fayyūm. It appears to be from the office of Nahray b. Nissim in his handwriting or one of his circle. (Information from Goitein’s index card.) NB: this fragment is also known as p. Heid. Hebr. 917.
