Description

Letter fragment in Judaeo-Arabic. With a prolonged respectful/flattering introduction. Most of the substance is preserved in the five lines in the margin. Dealing with business matters and goods on a boat. Mentions appoint people as agents (ווכלת עליה) such as סמאן(?) and Abū Isḥāq "who used to live with you." The writer sends greetings to the addressee's son Abū ʿAlī and his in-law Abū l-Ḥasan; also sends regards to Ḥasan and his maternal aunt.
