Letter: DK 320

Description

Letter in Arabic script. Complete, filling all of recto and verso. The sender is Christian: he (or she) swears by the baptism in r15 (wa-ḥaqq al-maʿmūdiyya) and by Christ in v7 (wa-haqq al-masīḥ). The letter itself addresses a woman (ishbīnatī, mawlātī, sayyidatī), though the address is made out to Fahd b. Abū l-Ḥasan, in Fustat. The sender is angry about an impertinent letter from the addressee. There is a lot here about financial matters. Needs further examination.
