Ketubah of Esther bat Menaseh? [...] and Jacob ben Elijah Debaḥ(?); dated Cairo, Wednesday 14 Tishri 5602.
The contract is signed by four people in very cursive script (groom and witnesses?, though none of them seems to be the groom's name), which is difficult to decipher. The total dowry, including the amount brought to the marriage by the bride and the additions of the groom, is 7000 Ariot? [אריות].
Conserved in 2017 by Sarai Vardi at the John Rylands Library.
The very top of the ketubah is torn off.
