Notes:

The last folio of a Haggadah (Halper calls it a prayer-book) with instructions (and notes) in Judeo-Arabic, and a contracted text.

The folio starts with an allusion to the post-meal Hallel (only the first and last phrases are copied), followed by instructions on the final cup of wine and the prohibition to eat or drink afterwards, anything but water, similar to Sidur Rav Seʹadyah Gaʾon / Israel Davidson [ed.]. Jerusalem : Meḳitse nirdamim, 1963, p. 149 ll. 23-24.

It concludes with the dedicationכמל אלסידור בעון אלרחמן וקותה לאפרים בן שמריה followed by blessings and wishes. The verso has an additional dedication.

Dedication inscription, in Hebrew, is partially vocalized with superlinear vowel points

The patron or owner of this copy, is probably Ephraim ben Shemaryah of ʻAzza, leader of the Jerusalemite community of Fustat, throughout the first half of the eleventh century, who is mentioned in, or authored, scores of Genizah documents.

Tel Aviv : University of Tel Aviv, 1995, p. 100-121 (Fustat on the Nile, Leiden, 1999, p. 160). His scribe, Japheth ben David, may have written this Siddur (see below, 366).
