India Book II, 55. Letter from Maḥrūz b. Yaʿaqov, Mangalore, to Abū Zikrī Yehuda b. Yosef ha-Kohen, Bharuch, Gujarat, ca. 1145–48. Abū Zikrī was a representative of the merchants in Fustat, stranded in Bharuch after having been captured by pirates near Tānā (modern Thane) in northern India — the same port from which Marco Polo reports piracy a century and a half later. Maḥrūz b. Yaʿaqov, his brother-in-law, is a nākhudā, a shipowner, and is in Mangalore, so invites Abū Zikrī to join him in his own ship heading back to Aden. Maḥrūz's sister (back in Fustat) was married to Abū Zikrī (Abū Zikrī's sister meanwhile was married to Maḍmūn b. Yefet, representative of the merchants in Aden).
