16 lines. On the general rules of documents of acquisition. Not found in Ben Sasson's article. Perhaps a new piece from Sa'adia's Book of Documents filling the gap between Cambridge fragments J3.9 and J3.17, the texts of which are published in Ben Sasson's article on pages 203-6 (J3.17), 206-12 (J3.9 = the text on B 2844-1) and 213-6 (J3.17).
