The extent to which they represent joins and/or related documents merits further examination (ENA 3264.1-2 seem to be the most likely candidates for a direct join). Of the six consecutive shelfmarks, ENA 3264.3 is the only one that does not contain any Arabic text. The clearest evidence of sewing marks from the booklet's binding are visible along the right border of ENA 3264.3r. MCD.

Dates are provided at the bottom of each entry and indicate what is most likely the year [54]92. The months Temuz and Tevet are also listed which helps to date this fragment as January-July 1732CE, which aligns closely with the join ENA NS 39.2. On the recto of ENA NS 27.7, the first entry also mentions one Moshe Ḥason "חסון" (l. 5r), whose name is repeated on the verso (l. 3v).

Dated in one of the diagonal entries in the middle of the recto: Tammuz 5404 AM (1644 CE), but the exact day is illegible along a paper fold. The accounts are detailed and well-preserved enough that there may be an Islamic-calender year equivalent on the recto or verso (one of the entries gives the month Muḥarram). There are also few blocks of text in paragraph form. One entry on the recto mentions Cairo's Nile port of Būlāq.

The writer explains that he cannot come because he is very ill (wajiʿ wajaʿin ṣaʿb) and has no energy (nahḍa) to 'enter' (Fustat). He has therefore sent Sulaymān on his behalf to collect his indigo that is with Abū l-Ḥasan. The son is to make sure that this happens, and if he wants to travel back with Sulaymān, all the better. After all, it is the end of the year, and the son has to pay his capitation tax in Alexandria.
