الوصف

Family letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Addressed to a 'son.' Dating: Unknown; might be 11th century. There are some unusual phrases, such as "al-ʿāqiba li-barakāt" instead of the standard "al-ʿaqiba lil-khayr" (meaning "may it all turn out well"). There is a long prologue with expressions of longing and conveying happiness at the news of the arrival of Zayn. Then the sender says that they are in a terrible state of fear (khawf) from something. Wheat is "8 for a dinar." The addressee is asked to (send a petition and) "obtain a rescript (tawqīʿ) for us from your in-laws(?)...." Greetings to various people, including Sitt al-Ahl; the sender's sister; and the sister(?) of Bū l-Ḥasan and her children. Greetings from Bū l-Khayr, Yūsuf, ʿAshā(?), Khulayf, and Banīna and her mother.
