Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Late. From Abū Saʿd(?) to Moshe, Yaʿaqov and Avraham. Mentions various business matters. There is an unusual simile at the top of verso, in which the sender apparently compares himself to a diver who will drown if his arms fail him. He then lists his weekly expenses (or perhaps these are orders?), including for meat, soap, a mantle, coal, firewood, rent, and wine. Needs further examination.
