Description

Letter in Arabic script. Mentions an administrator/supervisor (nāẓir); a Muslim judge: al-qāḍī al-ajall Muḥammad al-[...] Ibn al-Khalīlī; advice to the addressee that if business dries up, he should go to any of Ashmūn, Sakhā, Abyar, or Sammanūd, and write with an update, and the nāẓir will provide him letters/documents for whichever town to ensure that he doesn't meet any opposition. Another judge, al-qāḍī al-sadīd Ibn Karajūn (or Karjūn), is involved with these business dealings. In the margin there are business instructions about particular garments (20 ʿarḍīs and 5 awsāṭ, with instructions about the colors and types).
