Description

The text is almost completely vocalised and rhymes in -akh. It seems to be more of a poem than a letter; it breaks off mid-sentence, but there is no continuation on verso. However, it does address someone in the 2nd person singular and requests him to pass on his regards to Mevorakh when he reaches the ‘fortified city’, ועת תגע לעיר מבצ[ר] בחסדך קרא נא את שלומ[י] על מבורך.
