Yeroḥam and Yefet b. ʿEli: "They see themselves as ‘lilies’ (shoshanim) and everyone else as ‘thorns’; they consider themselves ‘wise ones’ (maskilim), but they disagree as to who among them is wise.” […] Ezra 7:27], may he live forever, and into the mind of our lord the vizier, may God save him, to speak on our behalf and to seek what is good for us, may His name be elevated for all eternity.” Presumably this refers to T-S 13J7.29 (PGPID 1243), a decree of al-Ẓāhir to the governor of Palestine, Anūshtakīn al-Duzbarī, ordering him not to show partiality in his treatment of “the two parties,” a decree issued in response to a petition from the gaʾon's party. […] He sends the elders Abū l-Barakāt Netanʾel ha- Kohen and Abū ʿAlī Muḥsin b. Ḥusayn on a fact-finding mission, and the effigy story turns out to be slander; Abū ʿAlī Muḥsin b.
