Description

Note in Judaeo-Arabic. Calligraphic. The sender excuses himself for cutting himself off from the addressee by offering a cryptic excuse (כאן אלשיך חנבאץ? ענדה פי אכתר אלאוקאת)—someone the sender doesn't care for? He cites several verses and adds "according to how the Rabbanites (? ahl al-Talmud) interpret them." On verso there is a note to the addressee reminding him to deliver something (money?) owed to a certain woman.
