Letter to David ha-Nasi the Exilarch. He is also addressed as al-Rayyis. Written in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. The writer reports that he arrived safely in Alexandria on Friday after 10 very difficult days of travel over sea and over land from Rashīd to Alexandria. On Shabbat, the travelers gathered in the great synagogue of Alexandria and recited blessings over their good fortune. It seems that ʿUlla Rosh ha-Qahal then invited the writer to his house. The writer expresses his gratitude for other distinguished Alexandrians who treated him well. The letter becomes damaged and difficult to read around here. On verso there are pen trials including of the name Yeshuʿa b. Avraham.
