Description

Business letter from Khalaf b. Ḥammād(?) b. Hiba to Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAllūn (?) b. [...]. In Arabic script. Mentions various sums in the hundreds of dirhams. Most of the letter seems to consist of a commodity list with quantities and/or prices. Among the products mentioned are tropical almonds and sandalwood. There is also a cipher of "addā", meaning paid, at the top left corner, indicating the payment of 167 dirhams, probably a later annotation. Reused for piyyutim. Needs further examination.
