Original document: Letter from [...] b. Shemuel to Abū Naṣr Mufarrij b. Ḥusayn b. Shuʿayb. […] He asks the addressee to make the payment via the jahbadh (government treasurer) Abū Najāh b. Yūḥānas (אבו נגח בן יוחאנס אלגהביץ). The 50 dinars should be taken from those that are hidden in dār al-ṣarf ("the house of money-changing," see Med Soc IV, p. 28). Goitein identifies this Abū Najāh with the well-known monk Abū Najāḥ (b. Qannā or Fannā in the chronicles), who acted as advisor to the caliph al-Āmir, ca.1125–28 CE.
