Accounts for the transport of a bale of purple cloth belonging to Abū l-Afrāḥ b. Yosef, from Old Cairo to Sfax. Dating: ca. 1100 CE. This document is particularly instructive, as it contains no less than fifty-eight detials concerning one single shipment. In most of the other accounts preserved in the Geniza only the major expenses and proceeds are listed. Goitein's translation is attached. A full discussion may be found in Med Soc I, pp. 339ff. Recto, line 8, also contains a reference to a [fee for] sealing of the consignment and jahbadha.
