Hi, I would like a transliteration of the name of the person who signed. I believe it's Hebrew and the person's name is Yosef but I'm not sure.
Thank you in advance.

6/11/2025 4:04 PM Yes, this is Hebrew.

It reads: Yosef son of __ir.

The script is a bit unusual. Do you have more writing by this same person? If yes, please send it to me. It might help me decipher the beginning of the father's name, which seems to end in "ir".

Yosef bar Lezir (Yosef ben Eliezer)
