NOTES.
+tt rrin 1+t+. This formula occurs again in line .6 and line 8; -pp by itself in line 23. In the last place a..?.1 uY
eJ,) . . . L. ' when Yazid sent ... to the
Governor', it certainly is the Arabic proper name Yazid. But in the first three places it is followed by the word n`nb, which can only be the Persian L. ' God '. And, indeed, the context in the first two lines is in favour of the meaning God '. ' [If] the Lord God befriend' is like a line ap.
Vullers, i. 194 alt ~~~ )12 and ' May
the Lord God [give] the reward ' is too common to need illustration. The third passage is too obscure to serve as an argument.
b111p crZ. Compare fit , ap. Vullers.
+tit potty. In line ro we read of a min being sold.
The Jewish dialect confuses and , e. g. in the Law
Report ttSn+Y stands for
nn perhaps into the hand of '. Bacher suggests that
this is the compound `...,ztt ' goods taken on credit '. Perhaps
what is meant is remuneration'.
The writer is evidently clear that the perfect should have a u in the first person.
vb seems to be )„,6, ordinarily pronounced khish.
1Dt1101 +s 117. It is noticeable that the writer makes no difficulty about beginning words with vowels : cf. line 13, 14D1.
no no no ttn. no stands for to as often. The sense of n1 is not quite clear : if it means ' decade ', it must have been used for the jingle.
I I. The letter before Ittn111n is like an incomplete D with the head of a 5. Perhaps it is an abbreviation, and with the previous words should be read 6').56. si ' did not believe'.
I 2. +tpnb. This seems to mean some sort of animal.
in5tiv +S. In certain Persian dialects is regularly
prefixed to the infinitive.
43t'. The letter before +S+btJ appears to be a with the middle stroke omitted : perhaps a letter wrongly written twice, and intended to be erased.
The combination +fit+iD appears to be the Persian,.,, followed by the yd of izdfel.
The last word but one commences with a letter consisting of an upright stroke crossed by a wedge, like an ancient form of t : I am unable to say what it was meant for.
Int. Since the writer begins words with vowels, this should stand for inm. Another suggestion would be jr, according to Vullers ' a governess', which would suit the context.
imp, doubtless an error (cp. brir1 for l..u..1 in I. 26). +15nY perhaps for ,16. .ls. ' tray'.
p]11m perhaps for w.)-(' a cat' ; yet a herb of some sort seems more likely. Vullers says, res fells capili similis e sauce proveniens.
The chief archaism in the document appears to be the separation of the yd of izafel in the form of +rt, the use of which, however, appears to be rather irregular ; it is identical in form with the indefinite article, and apparently +p+ (lines '3, 26, 28) and +tt p+ (line 27) can be written indifferently. The double spelling of the word 010 with and p seems to point to the writer being either a foreigner or unpractised in writing : it even suggests suspicion of transliteration from Arabic writing, with which the confusion between ", y, and L, would agree.
+1+33. Perhaps for $ ' purpose, intent'.
