Description

Mercantile letter addressed to Abū l-Afrāḥ ʿArūs b. Yosef. In Judaeo-Arabic, with the address partially in Arabic script. ʿArūs had bought brazilwood and pepper for the sender, who highly praises the addressee. The sender was slandered but overcame his adversary. Reports arrival of Raḥamim and Ibn Samḥūn. A ship from al-Mahdiyya brought khiyār (=khiyār shanbar = cassia fistula?). Ships from the mīna(?) of Bijāya were reported lost with Jews in them. Greetings to the addressee's brothers-in-law and the sender's cousin (ibn khāla) Abū ʿImrān and two people called al-ḥakīm. Reused for accounts by ʿArūs, which mention al-ʿAfṣī and Ibn Nuṣayr. (Information from Goitein's notes and index card linked below.)
