<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>Notes for a partnership, taken by the scribe Solomon b. Elijah, concerning a contract, dated Friday, 3rd Av [1]542 Sel. (= 4th July 1231 CE). The contract itself is found at T-S 8J6.9. The contract is an agreement between four partners who were to travel to al-Šām. One of them, Abū Saʿd b. Ibrahīm b. al-Ṣabbāḡ, became ill and was unable to travel, and so the partnership had to be restructured. The other partners are Sulaymān b. ʿImrān al-Ṣabbāḡ, Abū Manṣūr b. Al-Sūkkarī, and Futūḥ b. Bū l-ʿIzz al-Ṣabbāḡ. Solomon’s notes detail that Abū Saʿd has 83 dinars less 2 qirāṭs in the partnership, and the profit will be split in half: one half less 1/24 for him, and the rest for the partners. One of the partners, Sulaymān, has a separate, additional arrangement where he will receive 19 dinars, and the profits will be similarly divided in half.</p></p>
