Description

Letter to Abū Saʿd Yaḥyā b. ʿEzra from his cousin (ibn ʿamm). In Judaeo-Arabic. Reminding the addressee that al-Ḥemdat had sent with him אלדרקה (probably not shield or coat of mail but rather a leaf of a door), but had not received the price. The קעדה מכפיה (cf. קעדה מגלפה in T-S K15.9) sent by the addressee arrived, but was not yet taken by al-Ḥemdat. When the latter's brother Abū Naṣr arrives, Yaḥyā should pay him immediately the price of אלדרקה. (Information from Goitein's index card and CUDL.)
