Saʿadya ha-Levi in 1469 of the Seleucid Era (= 1157 CE) and later inherited by Solomon ha-Levi b. Samuel. In the top part of recto, three notes, written in two different hands and addressed to unidentified brothers(?), report in the name of the šayḵ Abū l-Ḵayr about what various people said or did. This includes Abū Manṣūr’s opinion about the addressees’ father, a report about the house of Al-Raḥbī, who do not observe the laws of purity (טומאה וטהרה), and about Abū Išḥāq and his relative by marriage. In the account of the house of Al-Raḥbī, names are mentioned such as Ibn al-Baṭṭāl, Al-Kohen, ʿUqaib, and Ibn al-Baradānī.
