- Note:
- 2 lists of people needing aid in paying the polltax. The first list, in a well-ruled semi-cursive hand, consists of 51 names, often providing additional information about the beneficiaries, including places of origin and professions. Three of these descriptions, verso col. 1, are in Arabic characters. After 11 lines on verso col. 1, hand changes to a primitive, unprofessional square hand...
Some of the names also appear in similar lists in Cambridge TS K15.93 and 96, and TS 13J 6.20, which are probably from the mid-11th century.
Much of the contents of the list were described by Goitein, Mediterranean Society, vol. II Appendix B no. 107 (p. 467).
