(1-3) On Thursday, 6 Nissan 1396 AG (=9 April 1085 CE) according to the dating to which we are accustomed in Fustat-Mitzrayim, situated upon the River Nile,
-
someone came (before the court) and mentioned that [[the wi(fe)]] the divorcee of Ṣāliḥ has been entering his house. Ṣāliḥ,
-
who used to be her husband, came forth and complained that she attacks him and enters
-
his dwellings, saying: "I will not leave nor go out of this house for
-
it is my house and my dwelling." We sent for her, summoned her, and forbade her
-
from entering the dwelling of her divorcee. However, she said: "I do not accept this. You
-
took a bribe to divorce me (from him). The house is my house and I will not
-
leave it. Otherwise, I will bring this to the government! [...]”
-
She spoke of (committing) enormities. To anyone who addressed her, she responded with
-
threats and curses. On his part, her divorcee, Ṣāliḥ, (continued) protesting,
-
saying: "Relieve me of the burden of her entering my house."
-
We wrote down what took place before us and signed it so it will be (testimony of) right and evidence.
