These ḳerovot commemorate the Third of Shevat, an event described by Jacob Mann (Hebrew Union College Annual v. 3, p. 258 with mention of the pertinent piyyutim, p. 261 n. 19; The Jews of Egypt, vol. II p. 34).

The theme, appearing in the first verse of each strophe, is Psalm CII. The acrostic signature, formed by the every fourth verse, reads שמואל ה]שלישי בחבורה].
Fol. 2r 1 (Halper 287.1): B. Heading: אחרת\ י״ח לתענית שלושה בשבט על הצרה והישועה. Another ḳerovah le-Shemonah ʹeśreh that starts ארוממך יי׳ כי דליתני. Written in the same scheme as the preceding including the identical acrostic signature. Here the theme is Psalm XXX.
Fol. 3r 10 (Halper 287.2): C. A seliḥah אילו פינו מלא שירה כים. Twenty-two two-verse strophes (א-ת).
