Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. This may have been appended to a letter written on a separate sheet. "After I had already written this letter, your letter arrived... with Abū Isḥāq.... As for what you mentioned that [...] is surprised that I hate living in Alexandria...." The sender then explains his or her reasons for hating Alexandria, which are sadly faded. It seems that the locals are irreligious and "they curse...." On verso, "The only reason I have tarried in Alexandria is because of Sitt [...]."
