Description

Business letter. In Judaeo-Arabic. The sender addresses a certain Avraham and a certain Abūn (both on recto). Most of the commodities mentioned are materia medica, including balm seed (ḥabb al-balasān), chebulic myrobalan, rhubarb, and kohl. Very faded. There are also remnants of a few words in very large Arabic script, perhaps from a state document. ASE
