Addressee suspected, with his disciples, to be an ally of Palestinian camp. Author claims not to suspect him, but calls on him nevertheless to denounce this rumour publicly, and to join in the campaign against the Palestinians (fol.3r:18-3v:19). […] One line (fol.3v:6-7) suggests that our letter may have been written between Passover and the New Year of 922 CE. T-S 10J32.1 is almost completely preserved in a single piece, and contains uniquely the entire text of the folio, although its bottom margin is torn off and lost; its measurements are thus informative, even if the folio’s full dimensions (its bottom margin, and its total height) remain unknown.

He mentions Abū Yūsuf b. Ismāʿīl [al-Andalusi], known from several other letters of the mid-11th-century. […] He and his Saʿīd then set about collecting all the debts owed to their late father and the goods their father had deposited with others, chiefly with one flax dealer. […] The entirety of verso deals with how the writer was initially cheated out of his share of the inheritance—it seems by Saʿīd who was in cahoots with their brother-in-law Yaḥyā b. al-Munajjim—and the aftermath.

Yehuda's years of service as Gaʾon is conventionally 1025–1051 CE. This PGP entry also previously contained the estimate, ca. 1030 CE, but it is unclear on what grounds (this date is not listed in CUDL). The ḥaver and some colleagues had been falsely charged, apparently by rivals within the Shāmī Rabbanite congregation in Fusṭāṭ, but the intervention of the Sahl, Saʿadya, and Yosef b. Yisraʾel al-Tustarī and Abū Naṣr David ha-Levi b. Isḥāq caused the governor to investigate and dismiss the charges.

[…] The verb is modified by the adverbial insertions bi-mālihi li-nafsihi ("with his money, for himself"), e.g. ishtarā PN bi-mālihi li-nafsihi min PN kadhā wa-kadhā (T-S Ar.53.73, various documents from the eighth century AH, al-Qāhira; T-S Ar.53.19, no date, Minyat Zifta Jawād); bi-mālihi li-nafsihi dūna ghayrihi ("with his money, for himself, not anyone else"), e.g. T-S Ar.38.116 (925 AH, Bilbays, al-Sharqiyya); or simply by li-nafsihi, e.g.: ishtarā PN li-nafsihi min PN (T-S Ar.34.332, 655 AH).

T-S AS 207.193: Opening lines of a legal document, perhaps an entry in a court register or an addendum to a preexisting deed (the lower flourish of a rabbinic signature is visible along the upper border and suggests the existence of an upper section; unless this is a stylized notation in the upper margin of the document, in which case this is the upper part of the document rather than the bottom part). […] This fragment is likely related to the neighboring shelfmark T-S AS 207.191, which has a similar scribal hand and also mentions legal parties with the first names Yosef and Mordekhay.
