<p style='text-align: justify;'>Middle part of an inventory of items found in the home of a certain Joseph after his sudden death, in the hand of the court scribe Ḥalfon b. Manasseh (active 1100-1138 CE). Joseph’s property included an apron, a scale (fūṭa), millstones (mīzān), a clothing such as a dress (al-ṯawb), woman’s undergarment (al-jalāla), trousers (al-ṣarāwīl), a female skull cap (maʿraqa), and a turban (al-buqyār). Perhaps related to T-S 12.530, a court record in the hand of Ḥalfon, which relates the discovery of the body of Joseph b. Ismāʿīl al-Būnī the Alexandrian.</p>
