Description

Small fragment of a mercantile letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Cut diagonally across the text to make a rectangle. Mentions a dinar and a sixth, the price of the commodities, a request to send something to someone, an empty musk bag (nāfija fārigha) and half of something, and someone complaining of something. Might be related to the India trade. On verso there is also mirror image text (imprinted from another fragment or potentially the same fragment folded over). It reads in part קד כתבת כתאב עזא לי תעתדר לי מנה . . . מולאי . . .
