Personal notes of the panason, in which they recorded rent payments by six tenants of Dar al-maqadisa. Several payments are in dinars and some of them seem to be advance payments. The accounting is written on a double leaf from a notebook, in two different scripts, one of them quite awkward, and the other obviously the work of a skilled writer.

The document preserves a number of conditions imposed upon the lessees of the qodesh. It proclaims 1) a ban (herem) against anyone who defaults on the monthly payment, for any reason whatsoever. Therefore, exactly as one would beg money for food, one should do so, if necessary, in order to pay rent. 2) The ban will also operate also on anyone who does not accept the amount of the rent as established by three Jews, the muqawwimin. 3) The lessee is obliged to present his deeds of lease whenever asked to do so in the name of the waqf. 4) The ban will also be applied to anybody making use of a Muslim's intervention in order to obtain a lodging in the houses of the qodesh or a reduction of rent imposed on him.
