אעתרפת גאליה בנת יצחק רחמה אללה ארמלה פוריג
ביר [. . . . . . . . . ] וחוסן בנת אברהים הידוע בן פולה
אלצירפי גמיעא פי בית //דין // אנהם קבצו דינארין
צחיחין גידין מן חואלה אלשיך אבו יוסף יעקוב //בן דויד// אדאם
אללה עזה קבצו דלך מן יד כגק מר ור מסאפר החזן
ביר שלמה החזן נבע מן חואלה אבו מנצור גאלב
ביר יצחק נבע וסאלו אכדו שהאדתנא בדלך וסאלו
איצא איצאל שכרהם אלי אלשיך שצ ואיצאלה
באלברכות עלי פצלה ואחסאנה אלמותואצלין
. . . . . אלי מחלה קאל אלחכים גומל נפשו איש
חסד וקאל איצא ולוקח נפשות חכם אשריו
וטוב לו אד הדה אפעאלה וסיירה וכצאלה
פעל אלגמיל ואלמערוף מע אלגרבא ואעצם ואגל
מע אלאקרבא אללה יסתגיב מן אלכל פיה ויוליה מן
פצלה ואחסאנה כסעת ידה וכן יהי רצון
וכאתבה ואלשאהד באלדנאניר זכריה הלוי
ביר משה נבע והו יכץ חצרתה באתם

Unusual hybrid between a legal record and a letter. Ghāliya bt. Yiṣḥaq, the widow of Furayj, and Ḥusn bt. Ibrāhīm Ibn Fūla(?) al-Ṣayrafī acknowledge in court that they have received two dinars from the debt transfer (ḥawāla) of Abū Yūsuf Yaʿqūb b. David through Abū Manṣūr Ghālib b. Yiṣḥaq, handed over by the cantor Musāfir b. Shelomo, in the presence of Zekharya b. Moshe ha-Levi. The latter also wrote the document and conveys the thanks of the two ladies (who were relatives) and his own greetings. (Information from Goitein's index cards).
