Description

Letter from Yefet b. Menashshe to his brother Peraḥya. Fragment (upper left corner). In Judaeo-Arabic, with the address in both Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic script. Yefet has purchased a quarter-mann of muql (this refers either to the gum resin called bdellium OR to the edible fruit of the doum palm — see Bos et al, Marwān Ibn Janāḥ, entries 294, 521, and 1044). He gives instructions regarding what to purchase, including sorrel seed (bizr ḥummāḍ), and what not to purchase.
