Description

Letter in Arabic script. Dating: ca. 12th or 13th century. The sender greets the addressee and says he was only prevented from kissing the addressee's hand (in person) on account of "my illness and some work." He asks for something to do with the accounting of expenses for the holiday. There follows the sender's own account in Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals. Needs further examination.
