The places for storing spent papers were written in the Hebrew language and letters as a "sacred language", so they are not burned or torn, but rather buried as a person is buried. As for the second axis: it included trade relations with some European countries and how to monitor the goods in terms of their validity before entering the Egyptian market according to models from The documents of the Cairo Geniza included imported goods that are suitable for local use, then a conclusion, research results, appendices, and a list of margins and sources.
