Description

Letter from ʿIwāḍ b. Isḥāq b. al-Zayyāt to the family of Abū l-Khayr b. Isḥāq b. al-Zayyāt (presumably his brother). It mainly has to do with family news. "You requested news of my brother and the baby." The requested update is somewhat obscure: ואלגמיע ענדנא מפקודין לעמרי לם יקף אחד עלי גירה. Maybe he means that everyone is saddened because they heard that the recipient is sick (אללה תע יחסן לך אלעאקבה). He sends regards to Abū l-Faḍl al-Ḥaver. There are several unrelated lines in a different hand on verso, including one formulaic phrase from a legal document. ASE.
