A court document in Hebrew, declaring that Malkah, the widow of R. Yair Abidarʻa has collected her Ketubah of 9,200 silver pieces, with an oath (as in Mishnah Ḳetubot IX 8). The oath was witnessed by the judges, the appointed trustee of the orphans, Judah Tamim, and the brother Abraham and Solomon.
