Description

Recto: Lower part of a letter in Judaeo-Arabic. The sender heard that his brother Yosef died in India, and he asks the addressee to enquire with a certain Ibn al-Dajjājī as to exactly how it happened. Apart from simply wanting to know, he is on the hook for paying his brother's capitation tax—maybe he will be exempted if he can prove his brother's death. Verso: accounts in Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals. (Information in part from CUDL)
