Notes:
8 lines. Apparently, these are selected Geonic responsa (introduced by וששאלתם) dealing with Talmud Bavli - Bava metsia. In general, the Genizah has revealed the existence of various responsa anthologies and indices arranged by Talmudic subject text, which might have functioned as handy glosses to supplement the Talmud. The present responsa are numbered. Text partially faded.
