الوصف

Letter. Quite faded. In Judaeo-Arabic and some Hebrew. Addressed to a dignitary. The sender complains about his poverty and illness. Mentions people who have helped in the past. Mentions food and the synagogue. The text in the margin (the part of the letter best preserved) mentions "a staff, a table, a chair and a lamp" (2 Kings 4:10) in the context of hospitality towards needy foreigners. The sender then mentions a poor and pious relative on his father's side who comes from Ṣaffūriyya (Sepphoris) who ate only chicken (perhaps again an allusion to the generosity of a host). The continuation on verso is difficult to read. Mentions a man titled "al-Meʿuttad" and a letter from him. Mentions the community of Damīra and a quarter-dinar. Also mentions Damietta and Tyre. (AA, OZ, ASE)
