A court document in Hebrew, declaring that Malkah, the widow of R. Yair Abidarʻa has collected her Ketubah of 9,200 silver pieces, with an oath (as in Mishnah Ḳetubot IX 8). The oath was witnessed by the judges, the appointed trustee of the orphans, Judah Tamim, and the brother Abraham and Solomon.

The judges sign at opposite ends of the page, Moses Reuven (ha-sofer(?), decorative signature), and Moses ibn Saḥwan "the younger".

This document appears to be copied by the same court scribe who copied Halper 370 (dated 1609) and Halper 371 (1624).
