Description

Letter fragment in Arabic script with one phrase in Hebrew. Addressed to Fustat. Opens with respectful honorifics. May mention the Franks or the land of the Franks in the top margin of the first side. Also uses the phrase 'God confound him' (khadhalahū Allāh) often used in reference to Franks, but the context is unclear. Then discusses business matters including a request to sell something 'for 20 or 21.' The something might be a book containing "אדם שת" ("Adam Seth").
