See also s.v. ˀdrkh; the forms are regularly confused in the manuscripts, with this form found in Geonic texts and the other in the Talmud. DJBA attempts to disambiguate them, claiming that this form is the "power of attorney" while the attested form is a scribal error based on the regular JBA afel of qwm which itself is often found in LJLA texts. The correct LJLA form should be אדרכתא , the document of property seizure, but it seems to us unlikely that two different words are involved.
