Petition, probably to Avraham Maimonides, of a widow who lives in a small upper apartment of a ruin belonging to the pious foundation. Recently the rent was increased from two dirhams a month to three and a half. She asks not be moved from this apartment because she enjoys the sounds of prayers that can be heard from the nearby synagogue. See further information in S. D. Goitein, Mediterranean Society, 4:66, 366, 374; and Mordechai Akiva Friedman, 'Protesting the Cancellation of Saying Piyyutim' Peamim 78 (1999), 139 n. 47.
