Cairo Genizah : Accounts; notes

Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>Rough accounts and notes, using dates in the Coptic calendar (the month of תות, Tūt in Arabic, Thout in Coptic), including mention of עיד אלצליב, 'the Festival of the Holy Cross'. The accounts encompass the years 442 and 443, either (1)442-1443 in the Seleucid Era, ie. 1131-1132 CE, or it is using the Hijra date, which gives 1050 CE. The Hijra date better fits the calendrical correspondences. The word אצבע is written next to most entries, presumably the 'finger' measurement (an inch). It's unclear what is being measured though. The name Abū Sahl occurs.</p></p>
