The subject is the ritual slaughter preformed by R. Yeḥiel אלדיין. Perhaps this is R. Yeḥiel "the Judge" ben Eliakim who served under Abraham Maimonides in the early 13th century (see Goitein, A Mediterranean Society vol. II, pp. 485-488, and in the list of judges, ibid. Appendix D, no. 30).
If so, than the date (in l. 3) is Seleucid [15]48 (=1237), the last year of Abraham Maimonides' reign. No signatures remain/appear in this fragment.
