Note:

A folio, folded widthwise into three equal parts, cropped in the 18th line, in an even cut on the third fold.
The upper part of a court record in Judeo-Arabic, in which Abu Natsr the Hazzan files a complaint, that he, his wife and his children have been attacked. Afterwards, the witnesses R. Ezekiel ha-kohen the Ḥaver and R. Obadiah ben Solomon testified of this attack, stating that the victim was beaten with a shoe (מדאס) on a Sunday.
The former is probably the same R. Ezekiel ha-kohen ha-Ḥaver ben ʻAli ha-Ḥaver a witness in several Genizah documents, the earliest Cambridge 13J 2 fol. 3, dated Dec. 1093, the latest Oxford Bodleian Heb. b.12 (Cowely 2875) fol. 4, dated Feb. 1102.
His father, a Jerusalemite, is the author of numerous Genizah documents (23 documents related to ʻAli ha-kohen, published by M. Gil, Erets-Yiśraʾel ba-teḳufah ha-Muslemit ha-rishonan / Moshe Gil. Tel Aviv : University of Tel Aviv, 1983, vol. III, nos. 433-455, the last of which is dated 1071).
