Letter from ʿEli b. Yeḥezqel ha-Kohen, in Jerusalem, to the parnas ʿEli b. Ḥayyim ha-Kohen (aka Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAllūn b. Yaʿīsh), in Fustat. The sender reports imposing an excommunication on the day Hoshaʿna on whoever owes money to Ibn al-Ḥijāziyya and whoever took receipts or official documents or went to the government and "caused them damage." As for the power of attorney appointing Ibn al-Ḥulaybī as an agent, the sender is involved in a legal dispute with him before Sayyidnā al-Nasi. This agent states that he owes a group of children only the proceeds of a container of cassia fistula (khiyār shanbar) and that he paid it to ʿImrān when he was in Egypt. They agreed that the agent would go down to al-Ramla to check his ledger (yakshaf daftaruh) and they will reconvene in a session before the head of the court (Av Bet Din). This is only delayed because Sayyidnā has gone to Damascus. This is also why the legal queyr from al-Shaykh al-Zajjāj has not yet been answered.
