Harold:
Years ago I heard another description of
Kapalayyim, but that was in a speech and
I dont know if it was accurate. The
speaker said that when a debt was owed, a
document stating the fact was posted in a
public place, usually in the town gate.
When the debt was paid off, the debt
document was folded over indicating
repayment. That folding over was called a
Kapalayyim.
My question: is there any historical or
archeological evidence that would show
this, or was the speaker blowing hot air?
