Summary
1. Undated [12th-century?]
A contemporary copy (?) of an Arabic deed of sale, with Greek notes. Al-Ghuman (‘the abbot’ < Greek ἡγούμενος, ēgoumenos) ibn al-qissīs (‘son of the priest’) Abū Ghālib, lord of the monastery of Barḍālī (?) purchases from ‘Umar ibn Ḥusayn al-Tamīmī, known as Ibn Ṣāfī, a piece of land known as Khandaq Iblaṭa (or Iblaṭuh), for the price of five tarì (rubāʿīiya). (The place-name has been identified implausibly with ἡ ϕαβάρα … ἠβλάτου, Fawwāra Iblāṭū, near Partinico: Caracausi 1990, p.225). The witnesses: Abd al-Ghanī ibn Ibrāhīm al-Lawāti; al-shaykh Maymūn ibn Ḥasan al- Tamimi; Yūsuf ibn Abū (sic!) Bakr al-Haww?ri; Abū l-Faraḥ (or al-Faraj?) ibn Ḥusayn al-Kutāmī; Alī ibn Ḥusayn al-Lawātī; Bū Jumfia ibn Yūsuf al-Rabīfī(?)
