Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>Possibly a continuation of the list of clothes for the poor (T-S NS J293(a), (b), (c)), but in a different hand. The list comprises names (right-hand side), and the item of clothing they have been given (left-hand side). In this list, all the recipients have received an apron or pinafore (fūṭa). The list of names includes: Miḵayyal al-Ḥammāl; Umm Jamīla; Sittūt bint al-Fuqqāʿī; Abū l-Faraj Naqīya; Amrāt […]; Maḥfūẓ b. al-Damašqī; Ṣadaqa b. al-[…]; Yehūda b. al-Sofer; […] Abū l-Ḵayr. Mīm (in isolated form) is written on top of some of the names. This may be an abbreviation for tasallum ‘receipt’ (i.e. paid) or mustalim ‘recipient’.</p></p>
