Description

Letter from [...] b. Yūsuf to Abū ʿAlī Ismāʿīl [...]. In Arabic script. (The addressee is confusingly called 'my father' in the body of the letter and 'my son' in the address.) The preserved portion of the letter is mainly formula for longing, and no major content is preserved. Reused for silk accounting in Judaeo-Arabic (see separate record).
