Description

The main block of Judaeo-Arabic text is a portion of a letter. The writer reports that he arrived safely in Fustat and yearns for a letter containing news of the addressees. He wants to know which ships have arrived, the news of the merchants and the merchandise, and sends greetings to Abū Bakr and al-F[...] b. Ilyās (?). Fragment filled with Arabic script and Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew written at all angles. The main blocks of Arabic script consist of lists, at least one of which might be a table of contents of a book (PGPID 33965). Needs further examination.
