The sender puts his money and his friends at Daniel's disposal. The letter is also an attack on ʿEli b. ʿAmram, who is never directly named. […] ʿAmram over the Rav, against the objections of the rest of Daniel's contingent, including Abū Isḥāq (Avraham b. Yiṣḥaq Ibn al-Furāt) (v1–12); (5) ʿEli b. ʿAmram's boorish behavior once he assumed leadership, which alienated the other leading figures of the community (including Abū Sahl al-Kohen, a certain Abū l-Surūr, and a certain Elḥanan), to the point that they boycotted the synagogue (v12–28); (6) ʿEli, fearing that he would be deposed in favor of the Rav, recruited his son-in-law Ḥunayn and started spreading malicious rumors about the Rav, including something he supposedly said to Ibn al-Talmid involving the latter's mother. […] Yehuda to al-Ẓāhir during the rivalry with Yosef al-Sijilmāsī.
